Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Sir,

Amphetamine is a symphatomimetic that is it stiulates the symphathetic system usually altering the heart rate. It may potentiate the action of some of the anaesthetic drugs especially if she has been taking amphetamine for long duration.
If she has been taking it for short duration then there won't be any issue.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take Care

Best Regards
