Dexedrine

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Dexedrine but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Dexedrine
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, non-catechloamine sypathomimetic agents, are used in combination to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or narcolepsy. Adderall consists of equivalent amounts of amphetamine aspartate, amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate, and dextroamphetamine sulfate. For treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADDH) and narcolepsy in children.

Mechanism Of Action:
Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine stimulate the release of norepinephrine from central adrenergic receptors. At higher dosages, they cause release of dopamine from the mesocorticolimbic system and the nigrostriatal dopamine systems. Amphetamine may also act as a direct agonist on central 5-HT receptors and may inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO). In the periphery, amphetamines are believed to cause the release of noradrenaline by acting on the adrenergic nerve terminals and alpha- and beta-receptors. Modulation of serotonergic pathways may contribute to the calming affect.
