Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine that primarily acts as an α- and β-adrenergic receptor agonist. It functions by stimulating the release of norepinephrine from presynaptic nerve terminals, leading to vasoconstriction. This reduces nasal congestion by shrinking swollen mucous membranes and decreasing fluid leakage into nasal passages. Pseudoephedrine is used to study α- and β-adrenergic receptor activation, particularly its role in vasoconstriction and bronchodilation.Pseudoephedrine helps in understanding the norepinephrine release mechanism and its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory physiology.
