Pseudoephedrine

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a decongestant. The salts pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine sulfate are found in many over-the-counter preparations either as single-ingredient preparations, or more commonly in combination with antihistamines and/or paracetamol/ibuprofen.

Chemistry

As with other phenylethylamines, it is very chemically similar to amphetamines (like methamphetamine and methcathinone), although amphetamines are more potent and have additional biological effects which are absent from pseudoephedrine.
