Abstract in brief

Amphetamine has a history spanning over 100 years, evolving from an over-the-counter remedy to a tightly controlled drug mainly used for ADHD and narcolepsy.
The review discusses how the chemical structure of amphetamine influences its pharmacology, which explains both its therapeutic effects and potential adverse or recreational effects.
Advances in pharmaceutical development, including long-acting formulations like lisdexamfetamine, have improved treatment efficacy and reduced abuse potential due to its unique metabolic activation and pharmacokinetic properties.
