Zenzedi is FDA-approved for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults, as well as narcolepsy, a condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks.
As an amphetamine-type stimulant, Zenzedi increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. These neurotransmitters play key roles in attention, focus, and alertness, helping to improve symptoms associated with ADHD and combat the excessive daytime sleepiness of narcolepsy.
Zenzedi is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance due to its potential for dependence and abuse. Common side effects may include decreased appetite, insomnia, weight loss, increased heart rate, and mood changes. It should not be used in patients with cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, or a history of substance abuse. Patients should only take this medication as prescribed and should not stop abruptly without medical supervision.
