Indications & Clinical Uses

Dextroamphetamine Sulfate is a CNS stimulant used to manage conditions related to the central nervous system, particularly ADHD and narcolepsy.

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Improves focus, attention, and impulse control in patients with ADHD.
  • Narcolepsy: Reduces excessive daytime sleepiness and improves wakefulness in patients with narcolepsy.

How It Works

  • Dextroamphetamine sulfate acts by facilitating the release of catecholamines, particularly noradrenaline and dopamine, from nerve terminals in the brain and inhibits their uptake. This leads to an increase in motor activity, causes euphoria, mental alertness and excitement, and suppresses appetite. It is used in the treatment of narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
