Adderall 30mg Tablet

Product Description

Adderall 30 mg is a prescription central nervous system stimulant containing a combination of amphetamine salts. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as part of a comprehensive treatment program.

The 30 mg tablet contains four amphetamine salts: dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, and amphetamine sulfate. The FDA labeling reports a total amphetamine base equivalence of approximately 18.8 mg per 30 mg tablet.

Uses

Adderall may be prescribed for:

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Improving attention and concentration in patients with ADHD
• Reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity associated with ADHD

It should only be used for approved medical indications and under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

How Adderall Works

Amphetamines affect neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, including dopamine and norepinephrine. They increase the availability of these neurotransmitters, which contributes to the therapeutic effects of the medicine in ADHD.
