Figure Lengend Snippet: Prescriptions per 100 000 enrollees for immediate release amphetamine, by manufacturer (2018-2024). Note: Used the first word of the manufacturer name variable (eg, Teva from Teva Pharmaceuticals or Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc.) to identify manufacturer. NDC flagged as a branded product if in Medi-Span, the NDC was coded as a single-source, co-licensed product; multi-source, originator product; or brand drug. NDC considered to be generic otherwise. ER vs IR formulations were identified by whether the Medi-Span generic product name contained the text “extended release.” HHI stands for Herfindahl-Hirschman index. A vertical line at 2020-Q1 denotes the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A vertical line at 2022-Q3 denotes the start of the shortage period.
