Abstract: Binge Eating Disorder is one of the most experienced eating disorders nowadays, although it is not perceived by the patients themselves. In view of this comorbidity, and after some studies, in 2018, ANVISA accepted lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) as the first drug for the treatment of BED, as occurred in the United States by the FDA in 2015. The aim of this review was to gather information about the effectiveness of using lisdexamfetamine in the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder, in addition to highlighting the most prevalent side effects in this pharmacological approach. A search for previous works was carried out on the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), BVS and ERIC platforms, and a total of 25 scientific articles were included after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Through the analyzed studies, it was observed that LDX is an effective treatment for the symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder. Its mechanism makes it possible in the short and medium term to reduce compulsive attitudes, as well as body weight. However, there is evidence of side effects in its use, such as headache, insomnia and, mainly, dry mouth. In conclusion, it is important for health professionals to understand that the use of LDX is indicated for moderate cases of ACT, bearing in mind, however, the possible side effects, so that it can provide effective therapy to patients.
