Buy Elvanse 70mg Online in Nigeria – Maximum-Strength Long-Acting ADHD Therapy
Buy Elvanse 70mg online from HubPharm Africa, a PCN licensed specialty pharmacy. Elvanse 70mg contains lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, a prodrug of dexamfetamine, and is indicated as part of a comprehensive treatment programme for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in patients aged 6 years and above.
At 70mg, this is the highest licensed daily dose of lisdexamfetamine. It is reached by titration, normally in 20mg weekly steps from a 30mg starting dose, and only where the response at lower strengths has been incomplete and the medicine has been well tolerated. As with all Elvanse strengths, one morning capsule provides approximately 13 hours of cover, and the prodrug design gives a smooth onset rather than a sharp peak.
Because this is the maximum dose, careful monitoring matters more, not less. HubPharm pharmacists review every order against a valid prescription, screen for cardiovascular and psychiatric risk, and counsel patients on appetite, weight, sleep, blood pressure and pulse. Same-day delivery within Lagos, 48 hours nationwide.
Key Features
- Maximum Licensed Strength: 70mg is the highest approved daily dose of lisdexamfetamine, reserved for patients who have titrated up with a clear but incomplete response at lower strengths.
- Full-Day Cover From One Capsule: Approximately 13 hours of effect from a single morning dose, with no midday administration required.
- Smooth Pharmacokinetic Profile: Enzymatic conversion in red blood cells produces a gradual rise in active dexamfetamine rather than an abrupt peak, which many patients tolerate better at higher doses.
- Dispersible Option: The capsule can be opened and the entire contents dispersed in water, orange juice or yoghurt for patients who cannot swallow capsules.
- Enhanced Monitoring Protocol: At maximum dose, our pharmacists prompt for documented blood pressure, pulse, weight and sleep review at each refill.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elvanse 70mg used for?
It is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in patients aged 6 years and above, as part of a comprehensive treatment programme including psychological, educational and social measures.
Why is 70mg prescribed rather than a lower strength?
70mg is used when titration through 30mg and 50mg has produced a partial response with acceptable tolerability. It is the maximum licensed daily dose and should not be exceeded.
Is a higher dose more effective?
Not automatically. Response to stimulants is individual and higher doses bring more side effects, particularly appetite suppression, weight loss, sleep disturbance and cardiovascular effects. The goal is always the lowest dose that gives adequate control.
Can the 70mg capsule be opened?
Yes. Empty the entire contents into water, orange juice or yoghurt, stir until dispersed and take immediately. The dose must not be split across administrations.
What are the common side effects at this dose?
Reduced appetite, weight loss, difficulty sleeping, dry mouth, headache, nausea, irritability, anxiety and increased heart rate and blood pressure. Appetite suppression and sleep disturbance are typically more pronounced at the maximum dose.
What monitoring is required?
Blood pressure and pulse at every dose change and periodically thereafter, plus weight, height in children, appetite, sleep, mood and any emerging psychiatric symptoms. Cardiovascular assessment before initiation is expected.
What should I do if the appetite loss is severe?
Speak to your prescriber or a HubPharm pharmacist. Practical measures include eating a substantial breakfast before the dose and a protein-rich meal in the evening when the effect has worn off. If weight loss continues, a dose reduction may be needed.
Can I stop Elvanse suddenly?
Do not stop without medical advice. After prolonged use at higher doses, abrupt discontinuation can cause fatigue, low mood and disturbed sleep. Your prescriber will advise on tapering or on planned treatment breaks.
Do I need a prescription to buy Elvanse 70mg in Nigeria?
Yes. It is a prescription only, controlled medicine dispensed against a valid, verifiable prescription from a physician registered in Nigeria.
Can Elvanse be taken with other medicines?
Tell your pharmacist about everything you take. Interactions of particular concern include monoamine oxidase inhibitors, other serotonergic medicines, tricyclic antidepressants, and agents that alter urinary pH, which changes amphetamine clearance.
How should Elvanse 70mg be stored?
Store below 25°C in the original pack, protected from moisture, out of the sight and reach of children, and stored securely as required for controlled medicines.

How Elvanse Works
Lisdexamfetamine is dexamfetamine covalently bound to the amino acid L-lysine. It has no pharmacological activity of its own. After absorption, enzymes within red blood cells hydrolyse the bond and release active dexamfetamine into the circulation. Dexamfetamine blocks the reuptake of dopamine and noradrenaline and promotes their release from presynaptic terminals, increasing catecholamine signalling in the prefrontal cortex and striatum and improving attention, impulse control and behavioural regulation. Because the rate of conversion rather than the rate of absorption determines how quickly active drug appears, plasma levels rise smoothly and the clinical effect is sustained for approximately 13 hours.
Storage and Handling
Store below 25°C in the original pack, protected from moisture. Keep out of the sight and reach of children and store securely as required for controlled medicines. Do not use after the expiry date shown on the packaging. Return unused medicine to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
Safety Information
Do not use if you are allergic to amphetamines or to any of the excipients, or with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor or within 14 days of stopping one. Seek medical advice before use if you have any heart condition, structural cardiac abnormality, hypertension, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, epilepsy, psychiatric illness including psychosis, bipolar disorder, severe depression or anxiety, tics or Tourette syndrome, or a personal or family history of drug or alcohol dependence. Cardiovascular status should be assessed before initiation, and blood pressure, pulse, weight, height in children, appetite, sleep and mood monitored throughout. Report chest pain, fainting, breathlessness, new or worsening psychiatric symptoms, or signs of circulatory problems in the fingers and toes without delay. Elvanse may impair the ability to drive or operate machinery.
