Pharmacodynamics

Dextroamphetamine is a noncatecholamine, sympathomimetic amine that acts as a CNS stimulant.Label Dextroamphetamine raises systolic and diastolic blood pressure, acts as a weak bronchodilator, and also acts as a respiratory stimulant.Label The general mechanism of action of dextroamphetamine has not been well established.Label

Mechanism of action

The exact mechanism of amphetamines as a class is not known. Dextroamphetamine acts by preventing reuptake, increasing release, and stimulating reverse-transport of dopamine in synaptic clefts in the striatum.4 Newer evidence shows amphetamines may also alter the number of dopamine transporters in synaptic clefts.2

Toxicity

Dextroamphetamine has been shown to be teratogenic and embryotoxic in mice at 41 times the maximum human dose.Label These effects were not seen in rat or rabbit studies, and the effects on human pregnancy have not been studied.Label The risk and benefit of use during pregnancy should be weighed as bone deformities, tracheoesophageal fistula, anal atresia, low birthweight, and withdrawl have been reported in the children of mothers who were taking dextroamphetamine during pregnancy.Label Mothers should not take amphetamines while nursing as the drug is excreted in breast milk.Label Long term effects of dextroamphetamine have not bee determined in pediatric patients and dextroamphetamine should be avoided in children under 3 years.Label

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbataceptThe metabolism of Dextroamphetamine can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbirateroneThe metabolism of Dextroamphetamine can be decreased when combined with Abiraterone.
AcebutololThe therapeutic efficacy of Acebutolol can be decreased when used in combination with Dextroamphetamine.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of hypertension can be increased when Dextroamphetamine is combined with Aceclofenac.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of hypertension can be increased when Dextroamphetamine is combined with Acemetacin.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid fruit juice. Fruit juice may acidify the gastrointestinal tract, decreasing absorption of amphetamines.
