Amphetamine-dextroamphetamine

Drug Details

Adderall is a medication used to manage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It contains a blend of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, which are stimulants. These work by altering the levels of natural substances in the brain, potentially improving attention, focus, and the ability to control behavior. Adderall may also assist in organizing tasks and enhancing listening skills. In patients with narcolepsy, it helps maintain wakefulness during the day. This medication should only be used for these conditions and not for general tiredness. It is available in both brand-name and generic forms and is taken orally. Dosages are adjusted by healthcare providers based on individual response. Common side effects include difficulty sleeping and decreased appetite. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
