Description

Norpseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a natural drug that has been used for many years as a decongestant. It is an active metabolite of ephedrine, which is found in the natural drug ephedra. Norpseudoephedrine hydrochloride is used to treat nasal and sinus congestion, but also has a number of other uses. The matrix effect of this drug has been shown with locomotor activity in mice. The enzyme activities have been shown using an analytical method on human urine samples. This drug can cause dopamine to be released into the synapse and may increase the release of other monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine if taken in high doses. Norpseudoephedrine hydrochloride can also have negative effects on fetal development when taken by pregnant women, so should be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
