Levopropylhexedrine
Levopropylhexedrine is a stimulant medication that is chemically related to propylhexedrine. It is a nootropic agent, meaning it enhances cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Levopropylhexedrine is a psychostimulant that increases the levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in the brain. It is thought to work by blocking the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, which increases their concentration in the synaptic cleft and leads to increased stimulation of the post-synaptic neuron.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Levopropylhexedrine is used in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and as an appetite suppressant. It can also be used off-label for its cognitive-enhancing effects.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Common side effects of levopropylhexedrine include insomnia, anxiety, and increased heart rate. More serious side effects can include psychosis, cardiovascular disease, and addiction.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Levopropylhexedrine is contraindicated in individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, or glaucoma. It should also not be used in individuals with a history of drug abuse or addiction.
