Fenethylline
Aliases: Fitton, Captagon, Biocapton, Amfetyline, Phenethylline
Summary
Fenethylline, once marketed as Captagon, is a prodrug that metabolizes into amphetamine and theophylline. Authentic material carries classic stimulant risks and high addiction potential, while most modern 'Captagon' tablets are counterfeit mixtures. Illicit 'captagon' tablets in MENA regions typically contain amphetamine, caffeine, and fillers rather than genuine fenethylline; dosage guidance here assumes laboratory-verified fenethylline.
