Recently, the label for the drug Dexedrine was revised to include warnings about sudden death and serious cardiovascular adverse events. Dexedrine is used to treat Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

Those changes include warnings about cardiovascular events, hypertension, psychiatric adverse events, growth suppression, seizures and vision problems.
