== Pharmacology ==
Amfecloral is metabolised to both d-(S)- and l-(R)-amphetamine and, most likely, also to chloral hydrate.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCATS Inxight Drugs — AMFECLORAL, (+)- |url=https://drugs.ncats.io/substance/WZS9L0Z92R |access-date=2024-07-16 |website=drugs.ncats.io |language=en}}</ref> Amphetamine is a [[psychostimulant]], whereas chloral hydrate is a [[Sedative hypnotic|sedative/hypnotic]] drug.

The extent of metabolism and in-vivo contribution of a chloral hydrate metabolism to its purported "little to no stimulant activity" is unknown.
