HOME --- DEFECTIVE DRUGS --- EPHEDRA
Ephedra is a stimulant that is used as an ingredient in weight loss and appetite suppression pills and over-the-counter nasal decongestants and asthma medications. According to a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Ephedra may seriously harm and kill some who use it.
Ephedra has been used in products for:
Asthma · Common Cold · Weight loss
Hay fever/Allergies · Congestion · Cough
Increased Energy · Weight lifting formulas
Ephedra can produce the following adverse reactions: heart attack, stroke, tachycardia, paranoid psychosis, depression, convulsions, coma, fever, vomiting, palpitations, hypertension, and respiratory depression. The research adds to the long-standing controversy about the dietary supplement, which is also marketed as an energy booster and treatment for respiratory illness.
Ephedra, derived from an Asiatic shrub, contains ephedrine, a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system to relax bronchial tubes. A synthetic form of ephedrine is used in bronchodilators and over-the-counter medications like Sudafed and Actifed, which fall under the FDA's watch.
