Thanks for the link. I had found some articles on this. I'm very surprised. It's not even a new drug, just being approved for a new use. It's not a true stimulant. One would think the FDA would like that idea since children are going to be medicated for ADHD in some form no matter what. Now they'll just have to stick to Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, etc, which many consider dangerous.

The company even commented that the one child more likely did not develop Steven Johnson Syndrome because of Sparlon. Yet, they don't appear to have fought had to push it through and don't seem to be all that adament about getting it reviewed again anytime in the near future. It's so difficult to run trials on children. The FDA seems to be using extra caution with pediatric approved drugs (i.e. blackbox warnings on AD's). They must be frustrated.
