Treatment Summary
Pseudoephedrine is a drug related to ephedrine and is extracted from plants that have been used in traditional Eastern medicine for centuries. Pseudoephedrine was first studied in the West in 1889 and its decongestant effect on dogs was discovered in 1927. It works by affecting the sympathetic nervous system, but not as strongly as ephedrine.

Effectiveness
How Ephedrine Sulfate Affects Patients
Pseudoephedrine helps to clear up congestion by narrowing blood vessels. It works quickly, but the effects may not last long unless it is taken as a special extended-release medication. Patients should be aware that taking pseudoephedrine can lead to stimulation of the central nervous system.
How Ephedrine Sulfate works in the body
Pseudoephedrine acts as a stimulant on your body, working on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. This causes your blood vessels to narrow, making it useful for reducing congestion. It is also used to treat long-term erections. Pseudoephedrine also affects the way that hormones and neurotransmitters are transported throughout the body, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and other bodily functions. It also blocks certain proteins from activating, which helps to reduce inflammation.
When to interrupt dosage
The suggested measure of Ephedrine Sulfate is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, including Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, Airway secretion clearance therapy and Coughing. The quantity of dosage is contingent upon the method of delivery (e.g. Tablet, extended release or Oral) featured in the table beneath.
