CONT

Le dérivé dextrogyre, la dexamphétamine, est deux fois plus actif que le racémique. Chez l'homme, il fait disparaître la sensation de fatigue, stimule l'activité mentale et procure une sensation de bien-être. Le phénomène d'accoutumance, qui intéresse aussi bien l'effet anorexigène que l'effet psychomoteur, peut entraîner la prise de doses trop fortes.
