Hey gang,

I'm at work and I was just waiting for my oatmeal to finish cooking when I decided to rummage through the Medicine/First-Aid cabinet at work and saw that one of the over-the-counter cold medicines had Pseudoephedrine HCL as the main ingredient (30 mg, to be exact).

How closely related is pseudoephedrine to ephedrine???

Since there is an ephedrine ban, I wonder if this could be used in any fat-burning regimen.

Thanks,

Gumbo

psuedoephedrine isn't as effective as ephedrine. You realize ephedrine wasn't banned. It was ephedra and supplements containing it. You can still purchase Ephedrine HCL in OTC products aimed at the treatment of congestion.

Why isn't as effect as ephedrine? Do you have any articles to show this? What exactly is the difference between the two? Psuedoephedrine is also the ingredient in Sudafed, which gives me ephedra like effects whenever I take it...But can psuedoephedrine still be used as a decent fatburner? (I have an assload of Pseudoephedrine HCL packets).

Pseudoephedrine is an isomer of ephedrine. They differ in arrangements of their atoms in space. This causes them to act on differently on receptors. Ephedrine is more of a beta adrenergic agonist which causes the anti-asthmatic effect and the fat burning effect. Wheras Pseudoephedrine is more of an alpha adrenergic receptor agonist, which leads to decongesting the nasal passages. However pseudoephedine still activates beta receptors to some degree and may have a small effect on fat burning. Save it for a stuffy nose b/c it will not help that much with fat burning.

real ephedrine is like $6 for 30 tabs at a pharmacy

pseudoephedrine is near useless for fat burning, unless you extract it and concentrate it, but then your basically starting the process to cook meth and no one wants to be caught doing that

pseudoephedrine's not to bad as a pre-workout stim at about 120 mg. Less jitters than E. I've heard the fat-burning effects are minimal as well, though.

Ehedrine was sold in supp stores as a decongestant before its wide spread stim use, i could be wrong but i remember thinking WTF is a decongestant gonna do for me and that was the begginging of a two year love affair.

Well I went to Rite Aid and they just make you swipe your ID through a scanner. I know my friend who buys it at Eckert Drug makes you sign a book, I guess places are different.
