Keep a close eye on Shire plc (SHPG) . The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the approved uses of its Vyvanse(R) (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate)
SHPG's Vyvanse is a central nervous system stimulant prescription medicine approved in 2007 by the FDA for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. On Friday, the FDA cleared Vyvanse to treat binge-eating disorder in adults
Binge eating disorder is characterized by recurring episodes of compulsive overeating in which people consume larger amounts of food than normal while feeling out of control and powerless to stop. It is the most common eating disorder in the United States (more common than anorexia and bulimia combined), affecting an estimated 2.8 million adults, according to a national survey.
SHPG's Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) Capsules (CII) is the first and only FDA-approved medication for the treatment of moderate to severe binge eating disorder in adults, shown to significantly reduce the mean number of binge days per week.
SHPG is expected to report its fourth quarter and full year 2014 financial results on February 12, 2015
SHPG enables people with life-altering conditions to lead better lives. SHPG focus on providing treatments in Neuroscience, Rare Diseases, Gastrointestinal, and Internal Medicine and the company is developing treatments for symptomatic conditions treated by specialist physicians in other targeted therapeutic areas, such as Ophthalmology.
