1 answer

A drug that increases the action of the central nervous system, heart, and other organs is called a stimulant. Stimulants work by enhancing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain and promoting increased alertness, attention, and wakefulness. Some commonly known stimulant drugs include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate (Ritalin), and cocaine. However, it is important to note that the use of such drugs should be strictly prescribed and monitored by healthcare professionals, as they can have significant side effects and potential for misuse or addiction.
