Amphetamines are a class of drugs that are used to treat a variety of conditions, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. They work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which can lead to increased alertness, focus, and energy.
Amphetamines are available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms. Prescription amphetamines are typically used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy, while over-the-counter amphetamines are typically used to treat mild fatigue or drowsiness.
