Description
Dr. Mark Cavitt with Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital said they have been dealing with a shortage in ADHD medications like Adderall since last summer.
He said at first, the problem was coming from supply chain issues. Then, people in the medical field started to see more prescriptions being called in for adults through telehealth providers.
“The FDA has always capped production year to year so there’s no increase in production so I think that’s why we continue to experience a shortage," he said.
