Procentra is indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children (ages 3 and older), adolescents, and adults. It may also be used for narcolepsy in some cases.
Procentra contains dextroamphetamine, which is an amphetamine stimulant. It works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain and increasing their release, thereby enhancing dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission to improve attention, focus, and impulse control.
Procentra is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance due to its high potential for abuse and dependence. Common side effects may include decreased appetite, weight loss, insomnia, and increased heart rate. It should not be used in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities, glaucoma, or a history of substance abuse. Treatment should be periodically reassessed to determine continued need.
