Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Amphetamine is a highly-restricted controlled drug that was discovered over 100 years ago. It is made up of the chemical alpha-methylphenethylamine and is composed of two forms of isomers, dextro- and levo-isomers. It was originally used to reduce drug-induced anesthesia and produce arousal and insomnia, and it was approved by the FDA in 1976. During World War II, amphetamine was used to help soldiers stay awake, and after the war, much of the surplus ended up in the black market, leading to its abuse.

Effectiveness
How Dyanavel Xr Affects Patients
Amphetamine affects the concentration of the neurotransmitters noradrenaline and dopamine in the brain in a dose and time-dependent way. It has been suggested to improve intelligence test scores and increase school performance, behavior, and demeanor for people with ADHD. However, it has also been linked to psychiatric dangers when misused, such as paranoia and depression.
How Dyanavel Xr works in the body
Amphetamine has a similar structure to neurotransmitters like catecholamines. It works by attaching itself to sodium and chloride ions, which allow it to be taken in by the nerve terminals. It then competes with other neurotransmitters to get stored in the terminals, which causes them to be released into the synapse. This process is more effective in the d-isomer form of amphetamine. Amphetamine also works by limiting how much of the neurotransmitters are taken up and degraded by blocking the reuptake and monoamine oxidase enzymes. Additionally, it acts as a weak inhibitor of the mitochondrial enzyme MAO.
