Mode of Action
Ephedrine has both alpha- and beta-adrenergic acitivity with pronounced stimulating effects on the CNS. It increases cardiac output, induces peripheral vasoconstriction, bronchodilation, reduces intestinal tone and motility, and relaxes the bladder while contracting the sphincter muscle. It also has stimulant action on the resp center and dilates the pupil witho affecting light reflexes.
Precaution
Ischaemic heart disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, angle-closure glaucoma, renal impairment; prostatic enlargement; pregnancy, elderly.
Lactation
Unknown if excreted in breast milk
Side Effect
Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting
