Evekeo

Evekeo is a brand name for the prescription medication amphétamine sulfate. It is a central nervous system stimulant primarily used for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adults. It is also prescribed for narcolepsy, a sleep disorder. Evekeo works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which can improve focus, attention, and impulse control. It is typically administered orally in tablet form. The dosage and frequency of Evekeo are determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual's condition and response.

Like other stimulant medications, Evekeo has potential side effects. These can include decreased appetite, insomnia, dry mouth, and increased heart rate. More serious side effects, though less common, may involve cardiovascular problems, psychiatric disturbances, and a potential for dependence or abuse. It is crucial to use Evekeo only as prescribed by a doctor and to report any concerning symptoms. The medication is a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States due to its potential for abuse and dependence. Patients with certain pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart disease or glaucoma, may not be suitable candidates for Evekeo.
