A member asked:

My 6 year old refuses to swallow the adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) pill. she notices when hidden in food. what is another option for her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try capsules: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) comes in a capsule which can be opened and sprinkled in a spoonful of applesauce, pudding or other food. Give her positive feedback for taking her meds- remind her how it can help her stay focused in school. Put up a "happy face" chart and make a "happy face" for each day she takes the medicine without hassle. Reward her with a fun activity if she gets several "smiles".
