Etifelmine

Etifelmine is a stimulant drug of the phenethylamine class. It is classified as a nootropic, which is a drug that enhances cognitive function. Etifelmine was developed in the 1970s and has been used in scientific research, but is not widely used in medicine.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Etifelmine is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), which means it increases the levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain by inhibiting their reuptake into neurons. This results in increased neuronal activity, which can lead to improved cognitive function.

Medical Uses[edit | edit source]

While Etifelmine is not widely used in medicine, it has been studied for potential use in treating conditions such as ADHD, narcolepsy, and depression. However, more research is needed to determine its efficacy and safety in these contexts.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Potential side effects of Etifelmine include insomnia, anxiety, nausea, and increased heart rate. As with all drugs, the risk of side effects must be weighed against the potential benefits.
