Studies indicate that AUC and Cmax for d-amphetamine from 75 mg NRP 104 (LDX) were comparable to (d-l-amphetamine) from 35 mg Adderall XR. The data also show d-amphetamine equivalence for AUC for 75 mg NRP 104 (LDX) and 30 mg Dexedrine, while peak exposure was 48% higher from NRP 104 than from Dexedrine.
