abstract="BACKGROUND: The CNS stimulatory agents amphetamine and methamphetamine are often detected in blood samples from apprehended subjects driving under the influence of drugs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Relevant literature was identified through searches in PubMed and Google Scholar. The current state of knowledge regarding effects of amphetamines on traffic behaviour is reviewed and discussed. RESULTS: Limited epidemiological data and a small number of experimental studies using low doses of amphetamines are available. Low amphetamine doses have been associated with enhanced performance in studies of sleep-deprived subjects. Theoretical considerations and empirical observations suggest that higher doses may impede performance, but not in accordance with usual concentration/effect relationships. INTERPRETATION: There is a conspicuous lack of data on how to handle cases of driving under the influence of amphetamines.<p /> <p>Language: no</p>",
