Description
What is Captagon (fenetylline)?
Captagon (fenetylline) is the trademark name of Fenethylline, an amphetamine-type stimulant used between the 1860s and the 1980s, to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy and depression.
It is a psychostimulant which is made of a combination of amphetamine and theophylline.
Captagon is also reported to be a commonly used stimulant in both the Middle East and some countries bordering the European Union, and drug seizures indicate that European countries may sometimes be the source of the captagon consumed in these countries (see the graphic below).
