Amphetamine Stimulant ID 40

Amphetamine is a psychostimulant in the phenethylamine class of compounds. Its effects are produced by modulating the levels of several neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and seratonin, popularly thought of as the chemical which produces feelings of wellbeing and happiness.

In addition to its use as a recreational drug, amphetamine has a long history of use as a performance-enhancing drug in sports due to its efficacy in increasing stamina, staving off fatigue and pain and increasing alertness and concentration. It may also act as an appetite suppressant, aiding weight loss.

Dangerous side effects of particular note for athletes include increased cardiac output and blood pressure, as well as an increased probability of cardiac arrhythmia.

Testing

Amphetamine is detectable in urine and blood, as well as saliva, and the detection times for a standardised dosage vary depending on the method of testing.

A 10mg dosage is detectable in blood for around 48 hours, in urine for between 1 and 3 days and in saliva for between 20 and 50 hours.

It is worth noting that many other drugs are known to produce amphetamine in the body during the natural metabolic process, a fact which must be taken into consideration in the event of a positive test.
