What's the difference between ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) and pseudoephedrine (ephedrine sulfate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a lot: Same chemical formula, just slight difference in direction of a side chain. But this little difference does give a little bit different effect, or intensity of effect in body. That oh on top, with one it points forward, with the other it points back, thats it.
