Adderall is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It is a central nervous system stimulant that is primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

Adderall works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. This can improve focus, attention, and motivation in people with ADHD, as well as reduce excessive sleepiness in people with narcolepsy.
