What is Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg?

Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg Long Meta Description Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg (dextroamphetamine sulfate) is an FDA-approved and internationally regulated prescription central nervous system stimulant indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children aged 6 years and older, adolescents, and adults, as well as for narcolepsy in patients experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness. As the dextrorotatory enantiomer of amphetamine, Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg works by increasing the release and blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, thereby enhancing executive function, concentration, attention span, and wakefulness while reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity. The 5mg immediate-release tablet offers a flexible, low starting dose suitable for titration, allowing healthcare providers to customize treatment based on individual response, body weight, and tolerance—typical starting doses range from 5mg once or twice daily, with gradual increases as needed up to maximum recommended levels. Clinical evidence supports its efficacy in significantly improving ADHD symptoms (often measured by rating scales showing 30-50% symptom reduction) and promoting better academic, occupational, and social functioning when combined with behavioral therapy. For narcolepsy, Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg helps maintain alertness throughout the day, reducing episodes of unintended sleep. The medication is taken orally, usually in the morning and early afternoon to minimize interference with sleep, with effects beginning within 30-60 minutes and lasting 4-6 hours per dose. Manufactured to strict pharmaceutical standards, Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg provides consistent potency and reliable symptom control. Due to its classification as a Schedule II controlled substance, it carries important safety considerations including potential for misuse, dependence, and diversion—common side effects may include decreased appetite, insomnia, dry mouth, increased heart rate, or anxiety, which often diminish with continued use or dose adjustment. It is contraindicated in patients with advanced arteriosclerosis, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, severe hypertension, glaucoma, agitated states, or a history of drug abuse. Always use under close medical supervision with regular monitoring of growth in pediatric patients, cardiovascular health, and psychiatric status. Consult a healthcare provider before starting Dexamphetamine Tentin 5mg to ensure it is appropriate for your condition, receive guidance on proper dosing and titration, and discuss comprehensive treatment plans including non-medication strategies.
