Adderall is a prescription medication used primarily to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a combination of two stimulant drugs, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which work by increasing the availability of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. This helps to improve focus, concentration, and reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity in individuals with ADHD. For those with narcolepsy, Adderall helps to promote wakefulness and reduce daytime sleepiness. The medication is typically taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules, and the dosage is carefully adjusted by a healthcare provider based on individual needs and response to treatment.
