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, paracetamol (acetaminophen) and/or ibuprofen.
Sudafed is a trademark for a common brand which contains
pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, though Sudafed PE does not. Cirrus
contains pseudoephedrine in conjunction with cetirizine (an
antihistamine).
Unlike antihistamines, which relieve multiple allergic symptoms by
acting as antagonists at histamine receptors, pseudoephedrine
primarily relieves nasal congestion commonly associated with colds
or allergies.
The advantage of oral pseudoephedrine over topical nasal
preparations, such as oxymetazoline, is that it does not cause
rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa); however, it is more
likely to cause adverse effects including hypertension.
Pseudoephedrine is being phased out as an over-the-counter drug in
some countries and replaced by less effective.
Chemistry
Pseudoephedrine is a phenethylamine, and a diastereomer of
ephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is a chiral molecule, meaning it occurs
in both "left-handed" and "right-handed" configurations which are
not superimposable.
Pseudoephedrine is the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) of
the (1S,2S)- diastereomer of ephedrine (which has 1R,2S-
configuration). Other names are (+)-pseudoephedrine and D-pseudoephedrine.
L-Pseudoephedrine, also known as (-)-(1R,2R)-pseudoephedrine or (-)-pseudoephedrine,
is the optical isomer of D-pseudoephedrine. It has fewer
side-effects, fewer central nervous system (CNS) stimulatory
effects, does not reduce to D-methamphetamine (which is the
enantiomer used as a recreational drug), and yet it retains its
efficacy as a decongestant.[citation needed] However, the patent
holder for L-pseudoephedrine (Pfizer/Warner-Lambert)[has not yet
sought or received government approval for its sale to the public.
Clinical uses
Indications
Pseudoephedrine is indicated for the treatment of:
* nasal congestion
* sinus congestion
* Eustachian tube congestion.
Pseudoephedrine is also indicated for vasomotor rhinitis, and as an
adjunct to other agents in the optimum treatment of allergic
rhinitis, croup, sinusitis, otitis media, and tracheobronchitis.
Adverse effects
Common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with pseudoephedrine
therapy include: CNS stimulation, sleeplessness, nervousness,
excitability, dizziness and anxiety. Infrequent ADRs include:
tachycardia and/or palpitations. Rarely, pseudoephedrine therapy may
be associated with hallucinations, arrhythmias, hypertension,
seizures and ischemic colitis;as well as severe skin reactions known
as recurrent pseudo-scarlatina, systemic contact dermatitis, and
nonpigmenting fixed drug eruption.Pseudoephedrine, particularly in
high doses, may also cause episodes of paranoid psychosis.It has
also been reported that pseudoephedrine, amongst other
sympathomimetic agents, may be associated with the occurrence of
stroke.

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) was enacted into law by the
Congress of the United States as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug
Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970.[1] The CSA is the federal
U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation,
possession, use and distribution of certain substances is regulated.
The Act also served as the national implementing legislation for the
Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
