Summary sheet: Ephedrine

Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a stimulant, concentration aid, decongestant, appetite suppressant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia.

Ephedrine is similar in molecular structure to the well-known drugs phenylpropanolamine and methamphetamine, as well as to the important neurotransmitter epinephrine (adrenaline). It is a substituted amphetamine.


History and culture

This History and culture section is a stub.

As a result, it may contain incomplete or wrong information. You can help by expanding it.

Chemistry

This chemistry section is incomplete.

You can help by adding to it.

Pharmacology

This pharmacology section is incomplete.

You can help by adding to it.

Ephedrine primary mechanism of action is through increasing catecholamine activity at alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. It also acts as a NDRA (norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent).

Subjective effects

This subjective effects section is a stub.

As such, it is still in progress and may contain incomplete or wrong information.

You can help by expanding or correcting it.

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.
