Amphetamines

Amphetamines and methamphetamines.

Amphetamines are a class of potent central nervous system stimulants. They can be prescribed for conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. However, they are also subject to misuse due to their euphoric and performance-enhancing effects. Following ingestion, amphetamines are metabolized in the liver and subsequently excreted in the urine, where they can be detected for a period after use. The detection window in urine can vary based on the specific drug, dosage, individual metabolism, and the sensitivity of the testing method.
