Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Dextroamphetamine is a sympathomimetic amine that acts as a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. It is thought to block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space.

Special Patient Groups
Pregnancy
Category C. Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Amphetamines may cause fetal harm, including premature delivery and low birth weight. Withdrawal symptoms may occur in neonates exposed in utero.
Trimester-Specific Risks:
First Trimester:
Potential for increased risk of congenital malformations, though data are limited and inconsistent.
Second Trimester:
Potential for growth restriction and premature birth.
Third Trimester:
Risk of neonatal withdrawal symptoms (e.g., agitation, feeding difficulties, tremor) if used close to delivery.
Lactation
Dextroamphetamine is excreted into breast milk. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers amphetamines to be drugs for which the effect on the nursing infant is unknown but may be of concern. Monitor infants for irritability, poor feeding, and sleep disturbances. Use with caution or consider alternatives.
Infant Risk:
Moderate risk (L3). Potential for irritability, insomnia, poor feeding, and weight loss in the infant. Long-term effects are unknown.
Pediatric Use
Safety and efficacy in children under 6 years of age have not been established. Monitor growth (height and weight) regularly, as stimulants can cause growth suppression. Monitor for emergence or worsening of psychiatric symptoms.
Geriatric Use
Use with caution in elderly patients, generally starting with lower doses and titrating slowly, due to increased sensitivity to adverse effects (especially cardiovascular and psychiatric) and potential for comorbidities and polypharmacy. Renal function should be monitored.
Clinical Information
Clinical Pearls
- Zenzedi is an immediate-release formulation of dextroamphetamine, allowing for flexible dosing throughout the day.
- The 7.5mg strength is unique to Zenzedi, offering more precise titration options.
- Patients should be advised to take the last dose several hours before bedtime to avoid insomnia.
- Counsel patients on the importance of adherence and the risks of misuse, abuse, and diversion.
- Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and psychiatric status is crucial.
- For children, consistent growth monitoring is essential; consider drug holidays if growth suppression is observed.
Alternative Therapies
- Methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin)
- Atomoxetine (Strattera)
- Guanfacine (Intuniv)
- Clonidine (Kapvay)
- Modafinil/Armodafinil (for narcolepsy)
- Non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., behavioral therapy, lifestyle modifications)
