Description:

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

Phenylpropanolamine is discontinued (prohibited/illegal in the United States). This product is a sympathomimetic, a psychoactive drug, that acts mainly by causing release of norepinephrine but also has direct agonist activity at some adrenergic receptors. Phenylpropanolamine acts as an alpha-adrenergic receptor and alpha-adrenergic receptor as well as a dopamine receptor D1 partial agonist. It is most commonly used as a nasal vasoconstrictor and an appetite depressant.
