Talk:Amphetamine
Pharmacology
From reading up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine#Pharmacology, it appears that the releasing action happens almost entirely through VMAT2 -- should any mention of that go here? Skyhighwings (talk) 01:55, 2 November 2016 (CET)
Enantiomers
Should more detail be added on the difference between l-amphetamine and d-amphetamine? (since they're pretty different in terms of effects - d-amph is 3-4x stronger as a CNS stimulant) and also Adderall? Since Adderall is about 76% d-amphetamine. This is also not reflected in the dosage section in the SummaryBox. Bzshd (talk) 21:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Bzshd: More information pertaining to the differences of the entantiomers can definitely stand to be included in the pharmacology section. The substance box presumes the generic racemic form. Perhaps that can be made more clear, or else discussed in a "Forms" section of the main article. I think the article should avoid assuming too much about what specific forms of amphetamine are being considered, as it varies by place and audience. For instance, Adderall is very popular in the United States but not so much in Europe and other parts of the world. --Clarity (talk) 22:05, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
