Hey guys, i had a theoretical question about adderall, that im not sure if anyone knows off the top of their head, but i couldnt find it in the search or searching any med. websites.
I'm studying pharmacolgy, and something about adderall, or any time release medication puzzles me. Theoretically, if only half of the XR is released and absorbed at one time, and the other time release spanules aren't released until several hours later, how is it that the spanules stay in the intestines for several hours until they are ready to dissolve instead of being passed through at a normal rate with the rest of the food matter? It's hard to imagine how this mechanism works, because after a few hours everything from the stomach will be emptied as well as everything in the small intestine, so is there a chance some of the spanules are wasted before having a chance to be absorbed? If this is explained scientifically please provide a link, otherwise all opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
