Today I do a deep, deep dive on Adderall, aka Mixed Amphetamine Salts, and I attempt to answer my own questions, "Why are there 4 different salts in Adderall?" I mean I get that there is a mixture of levo and dextro, but why the sulfate, aspartate monohydrate, etc.? Well, for those of you that are wondering this is well, I think I have the answer. This is not stated anywhere that I could find, it is my best guess hypothesis. It's interesting because as far as I am aware, other than Xywav, there is no other medication that is a mixture of salts of the same active drug, and in the case of Xywav, the purpose is to minimize sodium intake. For Adderall, there is no sodium, so the explanation is completely different and actually pretty fascinating. Have a listen!
