dextroamphetamine and Weight Loss

dextroamphetamine has been researched along with Weight Loss in 12 studies

Dextroamphetamine: The d-form of AMPHETAMINE. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a sympathomimetic. It has also been used in the treatment of narcolepsy and of attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity in children. Dextroamphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulating release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. It is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic.
(S)-amphetamine : A 1-phenylpropan-2-amine that has S configuration.

Weight Loss: Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.

" This review addresses the following three topics: a brief discussion of older weight loss medications approved for short-term use (benzphetamine, phendimetrazine, diethylpropion, mazindol, and phentermine), as well as over-the-counter adrenergic drugs (phenylpropanolamine and ephedrine); recent clinical studies documenting the safety and efficacy of a new medication for obesity treatment, sibutramine, recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for long-term use; and recent studies characterizing the valvulopathy associated with fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, serotonergic medications for obesity which have been removed from the markets."8.80Use of sibutramine and other noradrenergic and serotonergic drugs in the management of obesity. ( Ryan, DH, 2000)
"In a controlled study (the control group receiving pyribenzamine) it was observed that reserpine, in the dosage used, had no effect on weight loss in patients receiving d-amphetamine sulphate (Dexedrine(R)) and methyl cellulose (Cellothyl(R)) while on 1,000-calorie diets as compared with the control group."7.64Reserpine in weight reduction. The effect in obese patients on 1,000-calorie diets: a controlled study. ( SMITH, MC, 1959)

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Expression and Emotional Scale for Children (EESC) Scores at 7 Weeks

Expression and Emotional Scale for Children (EESC) consists of 29 items rated on a scale from 1 (not true at all) to 5 (very much true). Lower scores reflect better emotional outcomes. (NCT00500071)
