Exposures to attention deficient hyperactivity disorder medications reported to the New South Wales Poisons Information Centre (2014–2023): A retrospective study
Exposures to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medications present a growing public health issue. Rates have risen annually over the past decade, and the majority require medical attention, placing strain on healthcare resources. There are notable differences in exposure patterns among affected age groups. This highlights the need for targeted preventive measures focused on both quality use of the medication being prescribed as well as considering the circumstances and safety of the individual and household.
