About
Adderall is a prescription medication that is primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are stimulant drugs. Adderall works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that affect focus and impulse control.
People with ADHD may have difficulty paying attention, staying organized, and controlling impulsive behavior. Adderall helps to reduce these symptoms by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
