Transclusion

This article is a source for transcluded sections in Adderrall. Its a real house of cards -- reference definitions must be in certain spots, different sections are tagged with <noinclude and one article or another is often broken because of problems. Is transclusion really the best way to build these articles? -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:48, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Selective transclusion prevents information/content on multiple pages that cover the exact same topic from diverging over time. Yes, it does make it harder for unfamiliar editors to edit the source, at least initially when they're unfamiliar with the markup (see WP:SELTRANS for a primer). In this particular case, selective transclusions from amphetamine are used to ensure that this article, dextroamphetamine, lisdexamfetamine, and Adderall uniformly cover the same information in relevant sections.

Reference to fraction bound by plasma proteins

1. I just corrected the value for the fraction bound to 20%, according to the already linked source. Maybe they changed the value at some point. At the moment the source is DrugBank; section Protein binding: https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB00182#pharmacology. For said parameter the reference on DrugBank is solely this article: https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00003088-200443030-00002. Would it not be better if this source was mentioned in the article instead of Drugbank?

2. I also cross-checked said 20% with other publications and it's about right. So I guess there is no point in adding additional sources to prove the same number?

Dopamine neuron should be changed to dopaminergic neuron

On of the image titles says "Pharmacodynamics of amphetamine in a dopamine neuron" there is no such thing as a dopamine neuron, it should be changed to dopaminergic neuron. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihazevich (talk • contribs) 16:22, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

The Safety of Stimulant Medication Use in Cardiovascular and Arrhythmia Patients - American College of Cardiology

yo, stimulants are in fact cardio protective. has anyone given careful thought to this? The heart is a muscle. Muscles become stronger the more they work, The faster the heart beats the more oxygen is delivered. Blood circulates faster. these are good things. w/out preexisting heart conditions theres no issue… do marathon runners die prematurely? … i’ve taken these medications for decades - its only Vyvanese that has brought premature aging up - the 80 years before Vyvanese no one conclusively proved stimulants shorten people’s life spans. The truth is probnly that the way Vyvanese is metabolizedin the live by whatever enzynmee is it is in the liver that activates it causes long-term live damage and when your liver is gone - its over. Lastly speaking from personal experience Real Dexedrine or Adderall make my heart beat WAY faste than Vyvanese so that simple fact tells me this is to put it politely, highly questionable and to put it bluntly, bullshit . and if you drive a car on on overdrive but give extra attention to maintainihg it it will last long - its only if you aren’t healthy or dont maintauin your car in the first place that a issuew MAY come up. and people if you don’t know for god’s sake, if your skin doesn’t look good drink more water until you’re drinking 6liters a day. I bet crackheads who drink 6 liters of water a day have great skin! 72.143.21.46 (talk) 07:39, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
