Lisdexamfetamine

Lisdexamfetamine is a medication used primarily to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and sometimes narcolepsy. It’s a prodrug, meaning it becomes active after being absorbed in the body, where it’s converted into dextroamphetamine. This stimulant works by increasing certain chemicals in the brain that help improve focus, attention, and impulse control. Lisdexamfetamine’s design allows for a slower, more consistent release of the active substance, which can reduce potential misuse and side effects. It’s generally taken once daily and should be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
