RE: Ephedrine annoyance

[Guest guest]

Personally, I have asthma and my doc told me to stay away from it. She

said that it would cancel the effects of my inhaler. Unfortunately,

that wasn't the first time I had heard that either. Just my two cents

worth )

If you would research the FDA MedWatch reports you will find a wealth

of information.

Ephedrine acts as a stimulant. It is an amphetamine like compound.

The warning labels clearly states:

WARNING: Not for use by individuals under the age of 18. Do not use

if pregnant or nursing. Consult a physician or licensed qualified

health care professional before using this product if you have, or

have a family history of, heart disease, angina, thyroid disease,

diabetes, high blood pressure, recurrent headaches, bleeding

disorder, depression or other psychiatric condition, glaucoma,

difficulty in urinating, prostate enlargement, or seizure disorder,

if you are using a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or any other

dietary supplement, prescription drug or over-the-counter drug

containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine

(ingredients found in certain decongestants, allergy, asthma,

cough/cold and weight control products). The maximum recommended

serving of ephedrine for a healthy adult is 100 mg in a 24-hour

period for not more than 12 weeks.

From the FDA web site:

Possible adverse effects of ephedrine range from clinically

significant effects such as heart attack, stroke, seizures,

psychosis and death, to clinically less significant effects that

may indicate the potential for more serious effects (for example,

dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal distress, irregular

heartbeat, and heart palpitations).
