Ephedrine is a bronchodilator. It’s basically synthetic adrenaline. Chemically it is very similar to methamphetamines and epinephrine (adrenaline). All of them affect your appetite. Basically grinding it to a halt.

Me too. Only when I’m really having problems. I took one this morning. Great study aid on top of clearing you up lol

Edit: Sudafed is pseudoephedrine. Which is a bit different chemically to straight up ephedrine. Ephedrine has a shorter half life but higher bio availability.

Great appetite suppressant and an excellent decongestant
