Preferred Label : Dextroamphetamine Saccharate;
NCIt definition : The saccharate salt form of the dextro-isomer of amphetamine, a synthetic substance
related to natural sympathomimetic amines, with CNS stimulating properties. Dextroamphetamine
saccharate acts by facilitating the release of catecholamines, particularly noradrenaline
and dopamine, from its storage sites in nerve terminals in the brain, and inhibits
their uptake within the mesocorticolimbic system, a major component of the brain reward
system, thereby resulting in measurable behavioral changes such as euphoria. As a
CNS stimulant, this agent may increase blood pressure and reduce appetite. Similar
to other amphetamines, dextroamphetamine has a high potential for abuse, dependence,
and addiction if used in large doses over extended periods of time.;
