If you’re having trouble finding a pharmacy that will refill your Adderall prescription because of ongoing shortages of the drug in the United States, you can pay a company called Insito Health $50 to outsource the frustrating, time consuming task of calling all the pharmacies in your area to a freelance worker in the Philippines or another country where labor is cheaper.

Peter Daggett, Insito Health co-founder and CEO, and Parth Shah, co-founder and CTO, told me that they both have ADHD and that the idea for the company started when they were having trouble finding adderall themselves.
