Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
(1) Phenylpropanolamine, or norephedrine, is a sympathomimetic vasoconstrictor very similar to amphetamine, and carries a risk of potentially severe cardiac, neurological and psychiatric events. (2) One should be aware of the presence of phenylpropanolamine in many non prescription drugs. (3) Pharmacists should pay special attention to the presence of phenylpropanolamine in freshly prepared slimming mixtures. |
