Brief Answer:
Yes, it does. Humidification will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Yes, Adderal can cause nose bleeds. It is a known side effect and is related to dryness in the nose or changes in blood pressure caused by this medication.

2. Get his nose examined, and if the nose bleeds are frequent, a nasal endoscopy and cauterization may help.

3. Before discontinuing the medication, try saline nasal drops to keep the nose from getting dry.

I hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
