Amfetamine (amphetamine) is a central nervous system stimulant used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and, historically, obesity. It acts primarily by increasing synaptic concentrations of dopamine and norepinephrine. Amfetamine is approved for medical use in several countries, but has limited indications due to dependence and abuse potential.
Healthy adult volunteers, conventional racemic amphetamine, fasted state, single oral dose.
