Amphetamines:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphetamines are pharmacologic compounds known for their powerful stimulating effects on the central nervous system. They increase alertness, attention, and energy, which is why they are often used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. They do not primarily mimic pancreatic hormone release, nor do they decrease blood pressure, pulse rate, cardiac output, breathing rate, vital capacity, or muscle strength; instead, they typically have the opposite effects on these physiological parameters.
