The video discusses the differences between ADHD medications, focusing on how stimulant formulations vary based on their isomer mixes. Isomers are molecules that are mirror images of each other, affecting the drug's potency and duration of action. For instance, amphetamine and methylphenidate have left (levo) and right (dextro) handed forms. Dextroamphetamine is more potent, while levoamphetamine lasts longer but poses a higher risk of cardiac effects. Methylphenidate's dexmethylphenidate is considered the active form, while the levo form prolongs its action. ADHD medications are categorized by their isomer compositions: amphetamines can be 100% dextroamphetamine, a 3:1 ratio of dextro to levo, or a 1:1 ratio, as in Adderall. Methylphenidates come in racemic mixtures or as pure dexmethylphenidate, like Focalin. Additionally, the video explores different forms of administration, including pills, orally dissolving tablets, chewables, liquids, and patches. These variations cater to different patient needs and may extend patent protection. Notably, Dextroamphetamine is highlighted for its role in various medications and its potency compared to other isomers. Overall, understanding these differences is crucial for effective ADHD symptom management.
