Central Nervous System Stimulants - Cerebrospinal fluid
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Central Nervous System Stimulants'A loosely defined group of drugs that tend to increase behavioral alertness, agitation, or excitation. They work by a variety of mechanisms, but usually not by direct excitation of neurons. The many drugs that have such actions as side effects to their main therapeutic use are not included here. Common names: Central Nervous System Stimulants; Central Stimulants; Stimulants, Central; Analeptics; Analeptic Drugs; Drugs, Analeptic; Analeptic Agents; Agents, Analeptic |
