Dextromethamphetamine

Dextromethamphetamine was a drug and additive utilized before the Great War.

Background
The Nuka-Cola Corporation attempted to create a new Nuka-Cola variant with a coffee base, but was unsuccessful. Back at the drawing board, the development team at the Kanawha Nuka-Cola Plant proposed a change of the main additive ingredient from coffee to dextromethamphetamine. Taste tests with this addition were also not particularly successful with one taste tester relaying that the new version had an excessively metallic taste and further made their teeth itch.

Appearances
Dextromethamphetamine is mentioned in Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes
The real-world dextroamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant and an enantiomer of the drug amphetamine.
