Dexedrine, containing the active ingredient dextroamphetamine, is a prescription medication used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. As a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, Dexedrine works by affecting chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to impulse control and hyperactivity. It helps improve focus, attention, and cognitive function, making it easier for individuals with ADHD to manage their symptoms. For narcolepsy, Dexedrine helps reduce excessive daytime sleepiness and promotes wakefulness.
