The number of medication errors related to drugs for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children younger than 20 years reported to US poison centers increased almost 300% from 2000 through 2021. More than half of the errors involved children accidentally taking or being given the medication twice, according to an analysis in Pediatrics of nearly 88 000 reports involving ADHD treatments as the first-ranked substance. Other common errors were taking or being given someone else’s medication or using the wrong medication.

Most cases happened at home, and the majority did not require treatment in a health care facility. However, 4.2% of cases did result in a serious medical outcome such as agitation, tremors, and seizures.
