About

Adderall, a prescription drug, is predominantly used for addressing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. By increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, this stimulant aids in the regulation of attention, focus, and impulsivity. Adderall is a combination of two different stimulant medications, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It is offered in various forms, including immediate-release (IR) and extended-release (XR) capsules, as well as an oral solution.
