Amfetamiinisuolat

Amfetamiinisuolat refers to salts of amphetamine, a stimulant drug. These salts are commonly used in both medical and illicit contexts. In medicine, amphetamine salts are prescribed for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Examples of amphetamine salts used in pharmaceuticals include dextroamphetamine sulfate and mixed amphetamine salts, which are formulations containing different stereoisomers of amphetamine. These medications work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily dopamine and norepinephrine, which can improve focus and reduce impulsivity.

Illicitly manufactured amphetamine salts, often referred to simply as "speed" or "amphetamines," are produced in clandestine laboratories and are not subject to the same quality control as pharmaceutical products. These street drugs can vary significantly in purity and may be adulterated with other substances. Amphetamine salts, whether prescribed or illicit, are potent central nervous system stimulants. Their effects can include increased alertness, energy, and euphoria, but also potential side effects such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and paranoia. The use of amphetamine salts, particularly in non-medical settings, carries significant risks of addiction and adverse health consequences.
