Aytu BioPharma Announces Highest Weekly Adzenys XR-ODT(R) Prescriptions Generated Since Inception of RxConnect

Adzenys XR-ODT Total Prescription (TRx) Unit Growth Driven by a Combination of Continued Sales Force Execution, Leveraging of the Aytu RxConnect Patient Support Program, and a Positive Response to the Adderall® XR Supply Disruption

Adzenys XR-ODT is the Only FDA-Approved, Extended-Release, Orally Disintegrating Tablet Formulation of Amphetamine

Adzenys XR-ODT Continues to be Available as an FDA-Approved Bioequivalent Alternative to Adderall XR

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2022 / Aytu BioPharma, Inc. (the Company or "Aytu") (NASDAQ:AYTU), a commercial stage pharmaceutical and consumer health company providing pediatric-focused prescription drugs and cost-effective consumer health solutions, today announced the highest weekly prescription total for Adzenys XR-ODT® (amphetamine) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets, CII, since the inception of the Aytu RxConnect patient support program.

For the week ending November 18, 2022, a record 5,186 total prescriptions were filled for Adzenys XR-ODT. Adzenys XR-ODT prescriptions are up 9.9% over the preceding thirteen-week period.

Adzenys XR-ODT has a twelve-hour duration of action, has been FDA-approved as bioequivalent to Adderall® XR, and is available in six equivalent strengths as follows:

Strength (mg)
Adzenys XR-ODT 3.1 6.3 9.4 12.5 15.7 18.8
Adderall XR 5 10 15 20 25 30

Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu, said, "We're pleased with the continuing growth of Adzenys XR-ODT, driven in part through our sales team's execution in the field and our messaging to clinicians. Specifically, we continue to inform our clinician partners that Adzenys XR-ODT, an FDA-approved bioequivalent alternative to Adderall XR, continues to be available for their patients. Given the continuing supply disruptions many patients and clinicians have faced this fall and may face into 2023, we're pleased to offer Adzenys XR-ODT as a potential alternative to Adderall XR. Access to Adzenys XR-ODT is simple, convenient, and cost effective for patients via the Aytu RxConnect program and our network of approximately 1,000 pharmacies nationwide."

Adzenys XR-ODT remains available in light of numerous reported supply disruptions affecting generic Adderall XR (mixed salts amphetamine) extended-release capsule, CII for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Aytu BioPharma has maintained consistent Adzenys XR-ODT production levels at its Grand Prairie, Texas manufacturing facility to ensure ongoing supply of Adzenys XR-ODT, which has experienced no supply disruptions to date.

About ADHD
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. In fact, ADHD is estimated to affect 5 percent of children and 2.5 percent of adults in the U.S. Symptoms include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. These patterns of behavior are seen in many settings (school, home, work) and can impact performance and relationships.

Stimulant medications such as amphetamine and methylphenidate are the standard of care for treating ADHD, and extended-release (XR) formulations of these medications allow for once-daily dosing. Most of the existing treatment formulations are tablets or capsules, which need to be swallowed intact or in some cases sprinkled on certain foods or fluids and ingested immediately. Orally disintegrating tablets differ from traditional tablets and capsules in that they are designed to disintegrate in the mouth, rather than being swallowed whole.
