About
Adderall is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. These are stimulant medications that affect neurotransmitters in the brain and nerves, specifically increasing the levels of certain chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine. Adderall is commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
In individuals with ADHD, Adderall can help improve attention span, focus, and impulse control. For narcolepsy, it is used to reduce excessive daytime sleepiness.
