Fenetylline is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is an indirect-acting sympathomimetic amine, related to amphetamine. It is believed to work by increasing the levels of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps maintain attention and focus. It is usually taken once daily in the morning, with or without food. Common side effects include headache, dry mouth, and insomnia.

It was once used medically to treat ADHD, narcolepsy, and depression, but it is now illegal in most countries due to its high potential for abuse and addiction.
