Dexamfetamine is a prescription-only stimulant medication commonly prescribed for the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and, in some cases, narcolepsy. It works by increasing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to improve focus, attention, impulse control, and wakefulness when used under medical supervision.

This medication is typically recommended for patients who have been carefully assessed by a qualified healthcare professional. Dosage and treatment duration are strictly determined based on individual needs, response, and medical history. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure effectiveness and minimise potential side effects.

Possible side effects may include reduced appetite, insomnia, increased heart rate, or nervousness. Dexamfetamine is not suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with certain heart conditions, anxiety disorders, or a history of substance misuse.

In the UK, dexamfetamine should only be used with a valid prescription and as part of a structured treatment plan guided by a healthcare provider.
