What is Desoxyn and for what Desoxyn is used?
Desoxyn belongs to the amphetamine group of sympathomimetic amines. Desoxyn medication is used as a short-term aid to weight loss, and to help control certain behavioral problems in children. Desoxyn is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Desoxyn also may be used for a short time as part of an overall diet plan for weight reduction.

You should not take Desoxyn if you have glaucoma, advanced hardening of the arteries, heart disease, moderate to severe high blood pressure, thyroid problems, or sensitivity to this type of drug. Desoxyn should not be used to treat children whose symptoms may be caused by stress or a psychiatric disorder. Desoxyn should not be used to combat fatigue or to replace rest.
