ephedrine is it safe and does it really work.?

Answer 1

works has sideeffects like all drugs

Answer 2

Ephedrine itself has never been illegal. In 1997, the FDA purposed a regulation on ephdra (the herb from which ephedrine is obtained), which limited an ephedra dose to 8mg with no more than 24mg per day. This purposed rule was then withdrawn in 2000 because "concerns regarding the agency's basis for proposing a certain dietary ingredient level and a duration of use limit for these products." In 2004, the FDA created a ban on ephedrine alkaloids that are marketed for reasons other than asthma, colds, allergies, other disease, or traditional Asian use. Products such as VasoPro's ephedrine HCL contains Guaifenesin, which thins the mucus in the air passages and makes it easier to clear the airway, and thus is sold as a bronchodilator. In 2005, the US Federal District Court determined that the FDA did not have proper evidence that low dosages of ephedrine alkaloids are actually unsafe. The current legal status for ephedrine is ambiguous depending on how the FDA interprets the district court ruling, but regardless, ephedrine sold for other purposes is still legal. Currently, purchasing is limited and records are kept of how much ephedrine is purchased, with the specifics varying from state to state. Although the FDA claims that their ruling is a result from several deaths from people taking large doses, some people believe that it is only because ephedrine is one of the key ingredients for creating crystal meth, and that is the reason the FDA limits the total quantity one can purchase.

Answer 3

No it is not safe, maybe it works for a while, but why take a chance on having heart problems. And once you go off ephedrine, you will more than likely gain all the weight back that you lost plus possibly more! It's not a very smart thing to take.

Answer 4

Ephedrine certainly works. I was on it a few years ago (before they said it can kill you), and I was able to lose a lot of weight, just because I wanted to eat less while I was on it. But I was on a very low dosage of it. I worked with someone who was taking the more concentrated form, and it messed with her. She was literally shaking all day from the effects of ephedrine, and her heartrate was always racing. So I wouldn't say it was safe at all. I'd say there are better ways of curbing your appetite, preferably ones that won't stop your heart.

Answer 5

It does work, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's not safe. Why else do you think that it's one of the main ingredients in Meth. I used to use Meth and I used to use Ephedrine for working out.... not much difference.
