'"`UNIQ--vote-00000013-QINU`"' Once converted, dextroamphetamine acts by displacing dopamine and norepinephrine from presynaptic vesicles via VMAT-2 and reversing DAT and NET transport, the shared mechanism of all amphetamine-class agents'"`UNIQ--ref-00000014-QINU`"'. (1) ·

Narcolepsy/OSA: 200 mg PO once daily in the morning. Shift work disorder: 200 mg PO approximately 1 hour before the start of the work shift. Lower starting dose (100 mg) can be considered in elderly patients or those with hepatic impairment. (1)
preparations:
None (22) ·
0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg tablets (immediate-release and orally disintegrating); 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg extended-release tablets; 1 mg/mL oral concentrate (1) ·

routes:
onset:
None (22) ·
1-2 hours (slower than immediate-release amphetamine because activation requires enzymatic cleavage in red blood cells) (1) ·
30-60 min (immediate-release); 1-2 h (extended-release) (1) ·
Peak plasma concentrations 2-4 hours after oral dose. Wakefulness-promoting effect onset correlates with peak plasma; subjective alertness typically reported within 1-2 hours of dosing. (1)
duration:
None (22) ·
10-12 hours (smoother profile than immediate-release amphetamine salts) (1) ·
6 h (immediate-release); ~11 h (extended-release) (1) ·
Effective wakefulness promotion through approximately 12-15 hours reflecting the half-life of the predominant R-enantiomer. For shift-work use, 200 mg taken 1 hour before shift provides coverage through most 8-12 hour shifts. (1)
