Ephedra - Ephedrine

The active ingredients in Ephedra are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are commonly used for their broncho-dilating and decongesting properties.

Until its ban by the FDA, Ephedra was commonly found in herbal weight-loss products, and may be referred to as "herbal fen-phen". Pseudoephedrine is a common ingredient in many cough/cold remedies and allergy medications, and in some weight-loss aids.

Products containing ephedrine are promoted for enhancement of athletic performance or bodybuilding efforts. Ephedrine is also in a product known as "herbal ecstasy", which is promoted to induce an euphoric state and to cause heightening of awareness and sexual sensations. It is sold as a natural counterpart to the street drug.

Herbal products containing Ephedrine have been associated with heart attacks, strokes, seizures and even death. These products have also been associated with the development of kidney stones when use of the product is prolonged.
