Biphetamine 20

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Biphetamine 20 is a type of amphetamine that was commonly prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a combination of two types of amphetamines, dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, which work together to increase the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help with focus, attention, and impulse control.

History[edit | edit source]

Biphetamine 20 was first introduced in the 1960s by the pharmaceutical company Richwood Pharmaceuticals. It was widely used for several decades, but its production was discontinued in the early 2000s due to concerns about its potential for abuse and addiction.

Medical Uses[edit | edit source]

Biphetamine 20 was primarily used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. It was also occasionally prescribed for weight loss, as amphetamines can suppress appetite. However, due to its potential for abuse and addiction, it is no longer used for this purpose.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all amphetamines, Biphetamine 20 can have a number of side effects. These can include insomnia, dry mouth, increased heart rate, and high blood pressure. In some cases, it can also cause more serious side effects, such as hallucinations, paranoia, and severe mood swings.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

Biphetamine 20 is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States, which means it has a high potential for abuse and addiction. It is illegal to possess or distribute without a prescription.
