Amphetamine Antidote

Amp-feet
Picmonic
Amphetamine is a stimulant drug that causes increased alertness, pupillary dilatation and decreased sleep and appetite. Amphetamine toxicity can be treated with ammonium chloride which acidifies the urine and traps the amphetamine, which is slightly basic, in the urine to be excreted from the body.
