Pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine that acts as a direct alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist and indirect sympathomimetic to cause vasoconstriction of nasal mucosal blood vessels, reducing nasal congestion and improving airway patency. It is used as an oral nasal decongestant for the symptomatic relief of nasal congestion associated with the common cold, sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis, and is also a precursor in the illicit synthesis of methamphetamine.
