What is pseudoephedrine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold medicine : Pseudoephedrine is an ingredient in some cold medicines, meant to help with nasal/sinus congestion. It is a stimulant that has been used inappropriately in the past, so there are regulations on its sale in the US. It can also interact with a certain type of older antidepressant and it can have effects on blood pressure in those with high blood pressure problems.
