Are Amphetamine salts a compound prescription?

Yes, Amphetamine salts are compound prescriptions which include Adderall, dextroamphetamine sulfate, dextrolevoamphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate. Added: That depends what you mean by compound prescription. In a pharmacy a compound prescription is one that needs to be made (compounded) by the pharmacists because there is no commercially available product, not that there is more that one drug compound in the prescription. Amphetamine salts are ordered from a manufacturer and not made in a pharmacy.
