About ADHD
ADHD is among the most common childhood psychiatric conditions with behavioral symptoms fluctuating throughout the day. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, or be overly active. Many home-based difficulties for children and adolescents with ADHD occur during the early morning routine (e.g., before the school day begins).
About JORNAY PM®JORNAY PM (methylphenidate HCl extended-release capsules) is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients six years and older.
JORNAY PM is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it contains methylphenidate and has a high chance of abuse and misuse and may lead to substance use problems, including addiction. Misuse and abuse of JORNAY PM can lead to overdose and death, which is increased with higher doses of JORNAY PM or if it is used in ways that are not approved, such as snorting or injection. Your healthcare provider (HCP) should check for signs of abuse, misuse, and addiction before starting and during treatment with JORNAY PM. JORNAY PM may lead to physical dependence after prolonged use, even if taken as directed by your HCP. Tell your HCP if you or your child have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines, or street drugs.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please see below for additional Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning and Full Prescribing Information.
JORNAY PM can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs. Keep JORNAY PM in a safe place to protect it from theft. Never give your JORNAY PM to anyone else, because it may cause death or harm them. Selling or giving away JORNAY PM may harm others and is against the law.
JORNAY PM should not be taken if you or your child is allergic to methylphenidate or any of the ingredients in JORNAY PM or is taking or has taken an antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) within the last 14 days.
JORNAY PM may cause other serious side effects, including:
Risks for people with serious heart disease. Sudden death has happened in people who have heart defects or other serious heart disease. Your HCP should check carefully for heart problems before starting JORNAY PM. Tell your HCP about any heart problems, heart disease, or heart defects. Call your HCP or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if there are any signs of heart problems, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting during treatment.
Increased blood pressure and heart rate. Blood pressure and heart rate should be checked regularly during treatment.
Mental (psychiatric) problems, including new or worse behavior and thought problems; new or worse bipolar illness; new psychotic symptoms (such as hearing voices or seeing or believing things that are not real) or new manic symptoms. Tell your HCP about any mental problems, or about a family history of suicide, bipolar illness, or depression. Call your HCP right away if there are any new or worsening mental symptoms or problems during treatment.
Painful and prolonged erections (priapism) in males. If painful and prolonged erections happen, get medical help right away.
Circulation problems in fingers and toes (peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud's phenomenon). Signs and symptoms may include fingers or toes feeling numb, cool, painful, sensitive to temperature, and/or changing color from pale, to blue, to red. Tell your HCP about any circulation problems in fingers or toes. Call your HCP right away if any signs of unexplained wounds appear on fingers or toes.
Slowing of growth (height and weight) in children. Children should have their height and weight checked often while taking JORNAY PM.
Eye problems (increased pressure in the eye and glaucoma). Tell your HCP about any eye problems. Call your HCP right away if changes in vision or eye pain, swelling, or redness occurs.
New or worsening tics or worsening Tourette's syndrome. Tell your HCP if any new or worsening tics or worsening Tourette's syndrome occurs.
Before taking JORNAY PM, tell your HCP if you or your child:
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if JORNAY PM will harm an unborn baby.
are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. JORNAY PM passes into the breast milk.
Tell your HCP about all of the medicines that you or your child takes, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. JORNAY PM and some medicines may interact with each other and cause serious side effects. Especially tell your HCP if you or your child takes medicine to treat depression, including MAOIs.Avoid drinking alcohol during treatment with JORNAY PM. This may cause a faster release of the medicine in JORNAY PM.
The most common side effects of methylphenidate include decreased appetite, stomach pain, irritability, trouble sleeping, weight loss, mood swings (affect lability), nausea, anxiety, increased heart rate, vomiting, dizziness, increased blood pressure, and indigestion.
The most common side effects of JORNAY PM in clinical studies in children ages 6 to 12 with ADHD include trouble sleeping, nausea, decreased appetite, mood swings, restlessness (psychomotor hyperactivity), vomiting, and headache. These are not all the possible side effects of JORNAY PM.

ADHD drugs back in the spotlight after study debunks rising prevalence

An increasing number of patients are seeking support for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with pharmacological-based treatments an important part of medical care for the neurodevelopmental condition. A study published this week in the Journal of Affective Disorders has found that greater awareness and acceptance around the disorder has led to more people seeking help. The research, led by a team at King's College, London, debunks claims that the disorder is 'naturally' on the rise. The data comes as a national taskforce in England investigates what this rising demand for support means for the NHS. Figures published in May 2025 by NHS England estimated there were nearly 2.5 million people in England with ADHD. This includes more than 550,000 currently waiting for an assessment. Every month 20,000 more people are referred for support, a rise of 13% compared to last year. Pharmaceutical Technology looks at some of the current options in the UK and casts an eye ahead to what the future drug landscape might contain. The first choice for patients with ADHD is methylphenidate, which belongs to a class of drugs called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. The drug, which works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, increases activity in the brain, including regions associated with attention and behaviour. It is known under the brand names Ritalin, manufactured by Novartis, and Johnson and Johnson's Concerta. There is also Equasym and Xenidate, among others. Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is also used to treat patients with ADHD. Like methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine is a CNS stimulant and acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). This drug is known under the brand name, among others, as Elvanse and Vyvanse, both manufactured by Takeda. While stimulants are fast acting, with side effects felt soon after administration, non-stimulant drugs take longer, yet can offer an alternative if drugs like methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine dimesylate do not work. While improving, access to pharmacological-based treatments is still impaired amid an ongoing global shortage that began in September 2023. Methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine were primarily affected – the shortage arising due to a combination of manufacturing issues and increased global demand. A separate study published in The American Journal of Managed Care in March suggested that overdiagnosis of ADHD is fuelling the shortage of stimulation medications. One of the most advanced candidate drugs, and one with notable buzz surrounding it, is Axsome's Sunosi (solriamfetol). Sunosi, which is also an NDRI but not a conventional stimulant, met its primary endpoint in a Phase III trial (NCT05972044) earlier this year. The medication led to a 45% drop in ADHD symptoms. As measured by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS), 150mg Sunosi dosed achieved average reductions from baseline of 17.7 points, compared to 14.3 points for placebo. Sunosi is already approved in the UK to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in adults with narcolepsy, with or without cataplexy. Certain patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are also eligible to take the medication. In 2022, Axsome paid $53m up front to acquire Sunosi from Jazz Pharmaceuticals. A drug with a recent approval extension in the US, though not the UK, was Supernus Pharmaceuticals' Qelbree (viloxazine extended-release capsules). The mechanism of action of Qelbree, though unclear, is thought to be through inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine. Originally approved for children in 2021, the FDA updated the drug's label in January this year to include adults. ADHD treatments were in the political crosshairs in the US recently. The disorder, along with autism, was singled out by the Trump administration for an 'over-utilisation of medication'. Pharmaceutical intervention remains a helpful part of managing the disorder, though it is part of a combination of treatments that also include coaching and lifestyle changes.

Where the Sea Meets the Skin: Shapellx Unveils Innovative New OceanHug™ Collection Made from Oyster Shells

By GlobeNewswire Published on June 8, 2025, 18:00 IST ORLANDO, Fla., June 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shapellx , a leading women's shapewear brand, proudly announces the launch of OceanHug™ – a seamless women's wear collection of intimates, outerwear, and shapewear pieces crafted with a first-of-its-kind fabric made from recycled oyster shells. The new sustainable, ocean-inspired collection enhances body contours while delivering the perfect balance of style, comfort, and sustainability. Every year, millions of pounds of oyster shells are discarded, eventually ending up in landfills. Shapellx believes that beauty should never come at the expense of the environment. Every OceanHug™ piece gives new purpose to 33 recycled oyster shells, integrating them into ethically produced, performance-driven fabrics. By turning marine waste into innovation, the collection represents a fresh take on circular fashion by finding a second life for shells that promotes innovation while reducing use of virgin materials. 'As sustainability becomes a top priority for both brands and consumers, Shapellx is proud to lead with innovative materials like oyster protein that combine environmental responsibility with performance-enhancing benefits,' said Shane Shi, Vice President of Shapellx. 'We're committed to delivering more sustainable alternatives without compromising on quality or comfort. OceanHug™ is just the beginning.' The lightweight yet form-fitting OceanHug™ yarn is engineered with breathable, moisture-wicking properties, feeling silky, cool, and comfortable to the touch. The fabric uniquely incorporates collagen peptides and oyster protein fiber, rich in amino acids and trace elements, which can help to nourish the skin and strengthen its barrier. OceanHug™ also offers antibacterial properties, reducing harmful bacteria growth by 2.56%, and is specially processed to be free from irritating chemicals, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. The new lineup, built with shapewear materials to hug and comfortably embrace the body, comes in soft hues of baby blue, lavender pink, oyster white, and more. The collection includes the following products: OceanHug™ Oyster Reborn Smoothing Bodysuit The delicate lace cup edges expand the coverage around the bust, enhancing the natural bust shape and curve.

OceanHug™ Oyster Reborn T-Shirt Bra The OceanHug ™ Seamless Bra is made with high-elasticity yarn and butter-soft fabric for an ultimate comfort experience.

Retails for $49 and is available in sizes S-3XL and colors black, brown, baby blue, oyster white, beige and lavender pink.

Retails for $9 and is available in sizes S-3XL and colors black, brown, baby blue, oyster white, beige and lavender pink. OceanHug™ Oyster Reborn Smoothing Cami The V-neckline highlights the collarbone, creating a feminine, flattering look. The built-in 3D molded cups comfortably lift and shape the bust for all-day support. It features an anti-slip grip at the bottom hem to prevent rolling and ensure a smooth, stable fit. The compression fabric around the waist and abdomen smooths the area and provides comfortable shaping. Retails for $49 and is available in sizes S-XXL and colors black, brown, baby blue, oyster white, beige and lavender pink.

1 Stock Down 34% This Year to Buy and Hold

Investors are withdrawing their money from stocks like Viking Therapeutics due to the current uncertainty. However, the biotech has a duo of mid-stage candidates that look incredibly promising. Though it carries above-average risk, Viking has significant upside potential. 10 stocks we like better than Viking Therapeutics › Shares of Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX), a mid-cap biotech, are down by 34% this year. This poor performance may suggest that recent company-specific developments have rendered the stock less attractive or that it is being affected by broader market issues. The latter is true, at least to some extent, but Viking Therapeutics' thesis has not changed significantly this year. The drugmaker remains attractive compared to most of its similarly sized peers. Here is why. Viking Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech. That means the company has no product on the market, generates no revenue, and is consistently unprofitable. Investors aren't too keen on buying shares of companies that fit this profile when broader equities are experiencing significant volatility due to potential macroeconomic issues. In fairness, that makes sense. Clinical-stage biotechs carry above-average risk. Their products may never see the light of day outside the clinic, and even when they do, many do not generate substantial revenue. However, Viking Therapeutics is a bit different. The company is developing medicines across several areas with high unmet needs. First, there is the drugmaker's work in the weight management space. The anti-obesity drug market has experienced significant growth in recent years. Yet, analysts continue to predict that the best is yet to come. Viking Therapeutics' leading candidate in this area, VK2735, is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist. The only approved medicine of this kind on the market is Eli Lilly's Zepbound, an undisputed leader. Being in the same class as Zepbound doesn't guarantee VK2735's success, but it's still worth pointing out that a similar mechanism of action that led to Zepbound's breakthrough and efficacy could also prove successful for Viking Therapeutics' crown jewel. And more importantly, the investigational medicine has produced better results than almost any other mid-stage candidate in weight management, outside of those being developed by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. That's impressive for a mid-cap biotech, considering significantly larger drugmakers with far more resources are trying to dominate this market. Viking Therapeutics' other mid-stage program, VK2809, performed well in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a disease with obesity as one of the main risk factors and whose prevalence is on the rise. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved just the first MASH medicine last year, although that will likely change soon. The point, though, is that VK2809 could join a relatively young market in a few years and generate massive sales down the road. These two candidates set Viking Therapeutics apart from other clinical-stage biotech companies. It's also worth noting that Viking Therapeutics recently signed a multiyear manufacturing agreement with privately held CordenPharma for VK2735. Per the terms of the deal, CordenPharma will manufacture more than a billion oral formulations of the medicine annually, as well as over 100 million autoinjectors and another 100 million syringes per year. Viking Therapeutics will make payments to CordenPharma, totaling $150 million through 2028. This deal highlights that Viking Therapeutics is already planning some post-commercial activity for its leading candidate. That's a great sign for investors. Viking Therapeutics is developing other candidates, including another weight management product that is still in preclinical studies. Following a similar blueprint, this product is a dual agonist that mimics the action of not just one but two gut hormones: amylin, which helps regulate blood sugar, and calcitonin, which regulates calcium levels. There is slow progress on that front, but Viking Therapeutics' commitment to innovation is impressive for such a small biotech. Now, Viking Therapeutics' most advanced programs could fail in phase 3 studies. If that happens, especially with VK2735, the stock price is likely to plummet. That's a significant risk to consider. That's why the stock is probably not suitable for risk-averse investors. However, those who are comfortable with volatility should strongly consider initiating a small position in the stock. If the business goes under, which isn't that rare for smaller biotech companies, your losses will be relatively small so long as the company makes a tiny portion of your overall portfolio. But there is significant upside potential that those who invest in Viking Therapeutics today could enjoy over the long run.
