Descriptor efedrina
Scope note: Fenetilamina que se extrae de la EFEDRA SINICA. La PSEUDOEFEDRINA es un isómero de la anterior. Se trata de un agonista alfa- y beta-adrenérgico que tabén puede incrementar la secreción de norepinefrina. Se ha utilizado para tratar el asma, la insuficuencia cariaca, lsa riniitis y, por sus efectos estimulantes sobre el sistema nervioso central, en el tratamiento de la narcolepsia y depresión. Con el advenimiento de los agonistas más selectivos, se he reducido su empleo generalizado.

Scope note: A phenethylamine found in EPHEDRA SINICA. PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is an isomer. It is an alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist that may also enhance release of norepinephrine. It has been used for asthma, heart failure, rhinitis, and urinary incontinence, and for its central nervous system stimulatory effects in the treatment of narcolepsy and depression. It has become less extensively used with the advent of more selective agonists.
