ADHD and ADD Drugs and Sudden Death

U.S. health officials said several drugs to treat attention
deficithyperactivity disorder must include new warning information about the
riskof heart problems and psychotic behavior. The drugs include
GlaxoSmithKlinePlc's Dexedrine and Novartis AG's Ritalin, and must include a
warning aboutthe possible risk of sudden death.

The drugs are stimulants that can raise blood pressure and cause
aggressionand mania.

Doctors have expressed concern that new warnings could dampen use of
themedicines, but critics say many of the prescriptions are unnecessary
andthat the drugs are over used.
