  • Ephedrine and Pseudo-Ephedrine are called mixed acting drugs for what reason? (proprofs.com)
  • Ephedrine and Pseudo-Ephedrine are referred to as mixed acting drugs because they exhibit both antagonistic and stimulatory effects on their receptor simultaneously. (proprofs.com)
  • Thursday, I tried Claritin D, which has pseudo-ephedrine in it. (newsreview.com)
  • The coalition will also support the creation of 'Future Fund' from a portion of state severance taxes and call for legislative action on the availability of pseudo ephedrine, which is diverted to make meth. (wvpress.org)

(nih.gov)
Caffeine5
  • It combines the use of ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin. (ehow.co.uk)
  • Aspirin, unlike ephedrine and caffeine, is not a stimulant, but it has been shown to reduce urinary secretion of ephedrine, leaving it in the bloodstream to work longer and have more lasting effects on the body. (ehow.co.uk)
  • Taking ephedrine and caffeine alone shows almost the same effects of taking it with aspirin, and there is still speculation as to the role aspirin has on an ECA stack. (ehow.co.uk)
  • Ephedrine and caffeine increase levels of norepinephrine, which controls the body's response to stress and initiates the "fight or flight" response that stimulants are used for. (ehow.co.uk)
  • Side Note: ECA is Ephedrine (or pseudoephedrine), Caffeine, and Aspirin. (blogspot.com)
Nasal decongestant3
  • The efficacy and safety of pseudoephedrine are recognized by the Food and Drug Administration, who approve its use in over the counter medications as a safe and effective nasal decongestant. (healthy.net)
  • Pseudoephedrine acts on sympathetic nerve endings and also on smooth muscle, making it useful as a nasal decongestant. (nih.gov)
  • The nasal decongestant effect is mediated by the action of pseudoephedrine on α-sympathetic receptors, producing vasoconstriction of the dilated nasal arterioles. (nih.gov)
Phenylpropanolamine5
  • Shopkeeper's registration - Penalty - Ephedrine/pseudoephedrine/phenylpropanolamine. (wa.gov)
  • Wholesaler's license - Required - Authority of licensee - Penalty - Ephedrine/pseudoephedrine/phenylpropanolamine. (wa.gov)
  • Itinerant vendor's or peddler's registration - Fee - Penalties - Ephedrine/pseudoephedrine/phenylpropanolamine. (wa.gov)
  • Licensee and registrant requirements regarding ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine: RCW 69.43.160 . (wa.gov)
  • DEA has also announced plans to increase importation of several of the drugs (e.g., ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine). (beckershospitalreview.com)
Alkaloid4
  • Ephedrine is a natural sympathomimetic alkaloid. (differencey.com)
  • Ephedrine was the first Ma Huang alkaloid to find wide use in western medicine, being hailed as a cure' for asthma because of its ability to relax the airways in the lungs. (healthy.net)
  • Ephedrine is derived from any of several species of evergreen shrub belonging to the genus Ephedra , but E. sinica is the primary botanical source for the alkaloid ephedrine. (fsu.edu)
  • While some ephedra species have no alkaloid content, E. sinica typically has the highest concentration of ephedrine. (fsu.edu)
Bronchodilator2
  • Pseudoephedrine is an effective bronchodilator, equivalent in strength to ephedrine, but having the advantage of causing less stimulation of the nervous system, and so less vaso-constriction, tachycardia (heart palpitations) and other cardiovascular symptoms. (healthy.net)
  • Ephedrine is a member of the adrenergic bronchodilator class of drugs that serve to open up the bronchial tubes of the lungs. (fsu.edu)
Pharmacodynamic synergism5
Norephedrine1
Adrenergic3
  • Ephedrine increases the release and activity of norepinephrine at adrenergic receptors, while pseudoephedrine increases the release of endogenous norepinephrine from storage vesicles. (differencey.com)
  • Ephedrine has both direct and indirect actions on adrenergic receptors. (differencey.com)
  • amitriptyline increases effects of pseudoephedrine by sympathetic (adrenergic) effects, including increased blood pressure and heart rate. (medscape.com)
Ingredient1
  • Oklahoma already has in place several restrictions on pseudoephedrine (which is a key ingredient in some methods of making methamphetamine): monthly and annual purchasing limits and a requirement to show state-issued IDs before purchase. (johnlocke.org)
Sympathetic1
  • Ephedrine is also considered a mixed-acting sympathomimetic drug because it increases norepinephrine release from sympathetic neurons. (differencey.com)
Stimulates4
  • When ephedrine stimulates alpha receptors on smooth muscle cells in the bladder, it increases resistance to urine output. (differencey.com)
  • When ephedrine stimulates β receptors in the lungs, it causes bronchodilation. (differencey.com)
  • Ephedrine stimulates the CNS and is a potent CNS stimulator. (differencey.com)
  • The problems related to the way in which ephedrine stimulates the autonomic nervous system causing, amongst other things, elevated blood pressure. (healthy.net)
Meth4
  • The nation's war on drugs has at least one successful battle: State and federal laws limiting access to cold medicines containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine have dramatically curtailed small "mom and pop" meth labs. (npr.org)
  • But in 2004, states began restricting purchases of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, key ingredients in some meth recipes. (npr.org)
  • Labs persist in places where meth cooks "smurf" for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine - a process that involves "surfing" from store to store, buying the typical limit of two packages of medicine, and building up a small supply. (npr.org)
  • North Carolina also has a proxy war against meth via war on pseudoephedrine. (johnlocke.org)
Alkaloids1
  • This led to the discovery that pseudoephedrine, another one of the alkaloids present, slightly reduces both heart rate and lowers blood pressure, thus avoiding the side-effects that often accompany the use of ephedrine. (healthy.net)
Restrictions1
  • In October, just after Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski proposed retail-level restrictions on pseudoephedrine, The Oregonian ran a five-part series arguing that tracking sales by foreign manufacturers of the chemical is the only way to seriously curtail the methamphetamine trade. (johnlocke.org)
Epinephrine1
  • Although ephedrine is too slow acting to treat acute allergic attacks, it replaces epinephrine in nonemergency treatment of allergic reactions. (fsu.edu)
Substances3
  • Cela signifie, en d'autres termes, qu'il suffira d'un acte délégué pour inscrire sur cette liste un nouveau médicament dont on se rend compte qu'il est détourné pour synthétiser des substances illicites. (europa.eu)
  • En effet, seuls ceux dont la substance précurseur est facilement extractible du médicament pourront être inscrits parmi les substances classifiées. (europa.eu)
  • De plus, les substances qui seront inscrites dans cette nouvelle catégorie, dont les médicaments contenant de l'éphédrine et de la pseudo-éphédrine, ne seront soumises qu'à une obligation de notification préalable à l'exportation, formalité très peu contraignante et d'un coût dérisoire. (europa.eu)
Receptors4
  • on the other hand, pseudoephedrine has indirect sympathomimetic activity at α receptors and weak indirect sympathomimetic activity at β receptors. (differencey.com)
