The Ritalin LA shortage has persisted since the FDA first declared amphetamine mixed salts in shortage in October 2022. According to the ASHP, 15% of all active U.S. drug shortages are controlled substances, and stimulant medications remain among the hardest to fill. The DEA increased national production quotas for amphetamine by approximately 14% and lisdexamfetamine by 22% for 2026, but quota increases do not guarantee consistent pharmacy-level supply. Over 41 million prescriptions for ADHD stimulants were filled in the U.S. in 2023 alone — roughly 5.7 million doses per day — and demand continues to outpace production capacity at several generic manufacturers including Teva, Sandoz, and Sun Pharma.

Ritalin LA is a Schedule II controlled substance, which means the DEA sets annual production quotas that cap how much can be manufactured. Combined with rising prescriptions (over 41 million ADHD stimulant prescriptions were filled in 2023) and manufacturer production delays — particularly from Teva, one of the largest generic producers — supply has not kept pace with demand since the FDA declared a shortage in October 2022.
