Several substances are known to interact with amphetamine, resulting in an altered drug action or metabolism of amphetamine, the interacting substance, or both. Inhibitors of enzymes that metabolize amphetamine prolong its elimination half-life, meaning its effects last longer. Amphetamine modulates the activity of most psychoactive drugs.
