Thank you for the two clarifications.
That said, Health Canada did indeed ban Adderall XR from the market based in isolated cases, and that kind of a decision is not done by isolated individuals, but from the highest officials of the Dept.
And the FDA and Health Canada are not in any means comparable. I don't mean to belittle it as an entire institution, but, the FDA's M.D.'s on their CNS Disorders Advisory Panel do nothing without the greatest scrutiny.
The FDA balked when Health Canada on Adderall XR and dismissed it as having no basis and entirely speculative.
The decision was ultimately repealed once they had to face reality, but I believe it was for several months that the ban was in effect, during which Adderall XR could not be sold.
If it's being passed on as an advisory, yeah, sorry for my oversight.
I just had a grudge, obviously, about Health Canada... it was a rant, I'll admit ;)
