    FDA label

The FDA doesn’t rate ANI Pharmaceuticals, Actavis Pharma, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Burel Pharmaceuticals, Camber Pharmaceuticals, Elite Laboratories, Granules Pharmaceuticals, Lannett and Rhodes Pharmaceuticals’s versions of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine a substitute for Mydayis, so a pharmacy can’t swap them in without your prescriber’s OK.

Who sells it: FDA and Medicaid records, updated weekly. Each maker’s page, card and program is from its own site.

What to say at the pharmacy

“Before you fill my Mydayis, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”

Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
