Adderall is a prescription medication that contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It belongs to a class of drugs called central nervous system stimulants. Adderall is primarily prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
Adderall works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. These chemicals play a role in regulating attention, focus, and impulse control. By enhancing the activity of these neurotransmitters, Adderall helps to improve symptoms associated with ADHD, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
