METHAMPHETAMINE (meth am FET a meen) is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The drug may also be used together with diet and exercise in the short-term treatment of obesity.

This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
