Description:

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

Propylhexedrine is an alpha-adrenergic stimulant used extensively in nasal decongestant inhalers. Propylhexedrine works mainly as an adrenergic agonist, when used at therapeutic doses in an inhaler dosage form. This restricts the blood vessels in the nose and reduces swelling; thereby, the product relieves nasal congestion. At higher doses, propylhexedrine affects the central nervous system as a norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent. Propylhexedrine likely exerts such effects in a manner similar to related alkylamines such as cyclopentamine, methylhexanamine, and tuaminoheptane. In addition, propylhexedrine further releases monoamines through TAAR1 agonism and VMAT2 inhibition. Propylhexedrine also exhibits antihypotensive effects.
