Metamfetamine (also known as methamphetamine) is a potent central nervous system stimulant, formerly used clinically for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obesity, and narcolepsy. Due to its high potential for abuse and neurotoxicity, its clinical use is now highly restricted or prohibited in most countries. It is not widely approved for therapeutic use today.
