The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 has been incorporated into the Patriot Act signed by President Bush on March 9, 2006. The act bans over-the-counter sales of cold medicines that contain the ingredient pseudoephedrine, which is commonly used to make methamphetamine. The sale of cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine is limited to behind the counter. The amount of pseudoephedrine that an individual can purchase each month is limited and individuals are required to present photo identification to purchase products containing pseudoephedrine. In addition, stores are required to keep personal information about purchasers for at least two years.

/This study assessed whether/ pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is effective in decreasing the risk for earache ... in chlidren traveling by air. ... Children aged 6 months to 6 years were included in this study. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (1 mg/kg body weight) or placebo was administered 30 to 60 minutes prior to departure on commercial air flights. Caregivers noted historical details and the degree of apparent ear pain, drowsiness, and excitability with ascent and descent. Ninety-one flights involving 50 children were studied, with ear pain being reported in 13 (14%) of flights. Ear pain was not associated with a history of air travel-associated ear pain, recent ear infection, or recent upper airway symptoms. Pseudoephedrine use was not associated with a decrease in ear pain during either ascent (4% with pseudoephedrine vs 5% with placebo; P approximately 1.00) or descent (12% with pseudoephedrine vs. 13% with placebo; P approximately 1.00). Pseudoephedrine use was, however, linked to drowsiness at takeoff (60% with pseudoephedrine vs. 27% with placebo; P = .003) but not at landing (P = .39). Treatment was not associated with excitability at takeoff (P = .09) or landing (P approximately 1.00). Ear pain is not uncommon in children traveling by commercial aircraft. The predeparture use of pseudoephedrine does not decrease the risk for in-flight ear pain in children but is associated with drowsiness. /Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride/

Pseudoephedrine may cause mild CNS stimulation, especially in patients who are hypersensitive to the effects of sympathomimetic drugs. Nervousness, excitability, restlessness, dizziness, weakness, and insomnia may occur. Headache and drowsiness also have been reported.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 1355
As with other sympathomimetic drugs, pseudoephedrine should not be used for self-medication in patients with hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or difficulty urinating secondary to prostatic hypertrophy without consulting a clinician. The drug should be used cautiously, and may be contraindicated, in patients who are hypersensitive to the effects of other sympathomimetic drugs. Pseudoephedrine is contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, angle-closure glaucoma, or urinary retention.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 1355
Geriatric patients may be especially sensitive to the effects of sympathomimetic amines. Overdosage of sympathomimetic amines in patients older than 60 years of age may cause hallucinations, CNS depression, seizures, and death. Extended-release preparations containing pseudoephedrine therefore should not be administered to these patients until safety has been established by administration of a short-acting preparation.

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine used for its decongestant activity.
Pseudoephedrine causes vasoconstriction which leads to a decongestant effect. It has a short duration of action unless formulated as an extended release product. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of central nervous system stimulation.
Nasal Decongestants
Drugs designed to treat inflammation of the nasal passages, generally the result of an infection (more often than not the common cold) or an allergy related condition, e.g., hay fever. The inflammation involves swelling of the mucous membrane that lines the nasal passages and results in inordinate mucus production. The primary class of nasal decongestants are vasoconstrictor agents. (From PharmAssist, The Family Guide to Health and Medicine, 1993) (See all compounds classified as Nasal Decongestants.)
Bronchodilator Agents
Agents that cause an increase in the expansion of a bronchus or bronchial tubes. (See all compounds classified as Bronchodilator Agents.)

Oral capsules containing 100 mg pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and different grades of sodium alginate were prepared and studied to determine drug dissolution, the penetration of dissolution medium into the capsules, and the bioavailability of the formulations in 16 healthy subjects (ages 19-24 yr) using a randomized crossover design. At pH 1.2, there was no difference in dissolution between the formulations. At pH 7.2, release rates correlated with the viscosity grade of sodium alginate. Bioavailability tests confirmed that capsules containing high viscosity grades of alginate led to slow release, with a time to reach peak concn of 6.5 hr, and no loss of amount of drug absorbed. It was concluded that controlled release pseudoephedrine capsules can be prepared with high viscosity grades of sodium alginate. /Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride/

The release of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride from beadlets coated with different levels of Eudragit S-100 and Eudragit RS was studied. In vitro dissolution studies indicated that the coating levels types of resins and types of plasticizers in the film played a major role in determining drug release rate profiles. Drug release appeared to follow first order kinetics. A coating of 2% Eudragit S-100 eliminated the formation of soft lumps which are commonly seen with Eudragit RS coated beadlets. Eudragit S-100 coating also contributed to retarding drug release in dissolution media at pH 1.2-6.5. It was concluded that pseudoephedrine release from coated beadlets depended on coating levels types of resins and types of plasticizers used. /Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride/

Only three drugs are commonly used as oral decongestants: phenylpropanolamine (PPA), pseudoephedrine (PDE), and phenylephrine (PE). They are all chiral drugs that exist as stereoisomers. It is possible that each enantiomer can reflect significant enantioselective differences with regard to both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects. Both PPA and PDE are readily and completely absorbed, whereas PE, with a bioavailability of only approximately 38%, is subject to gut wall metabolism and is thought to be absorbed erratically. Peak concn are reached between 0.5 and 2 hr after admin. All three drugs are extensively distributed into extravascular sites (apparent volume of distribution between 2.6 and 5.0 L/kg). No protein binding data in humans are available. Whereas PPA and PDE are not substantially metabolized, PE undergoes extensive biotransformation in the gut wall and the liver. Elimination of PPA and PDE is predominantly renal, with urinary excretion being pH dependent. Half-lives are relatively short, approximately 2.5 hr for PE, 4 hr for PPA, and 6 hr for PDE. Elimination of PPA and PDE may be rapid in children, and the agents should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment. In addition, PPA incr caffeine plasma levels and decr theophylline clearance. Reduced metabolism of PE occurs with concurrent admin of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. No direct relationship between nasal decongestant effect and plasma concentration has been established.

Ephedrine (EPH), pseudoephedrine (PEPH), phenylpropanolamine (PPA), methylephedrine (MEPH) and cathine are sympathomimetic amines. ... Excretion studies of the ephedrine-related drugs have been performed to better understand the metabolic yields of ephedrines in urine. After consuming a single clinical dose of each of these drugs, urine samples from volunteers (n=3 for each drug) were subjected to tert-butyl-methyl-ether (TBME) extraction and trifluoroacetic acid (TFAA) derivatization before gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Most ephedrines were excreted unchanged in urine, including EPH (40.9%), PEPH (72.2%), and PPA (59.3%). However, only a relatively small amount of MEPH (15.5%) was excreted unchanged in urine. In addition, a trace amount of PPA (1.6%) and cathine (0.7%) was found to be the metabolites of EPH and PEPH, respectively. Urinary EPH, PEPH, and PPA reached peaks at 2-6 hr and disappeared in urine at approximately 24-48 hr post-administration. ...

The mean elimination half life of pseudoephedrine is 6.0h.
In two sequential double-blind, parallel-group, single-dose studies, 21 children received either pseudoephedrine, 30 or 60 mg, or placebo, and 20 children received either phenylpropanolamine, 20 or 37.5 mg, or placebo. Before dosing and at intervals up to 7 hours after dosing, serum pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine concentrations were measured, and pulse and blood pressure were recorded. In two children receiving each drug, these tests were also performed at 12 and 24 hours, and urine was collected from 0 to 12 and from 12 to 24 hours. In children, the mean (+/-SEM) terminal elimination half-life values for pseudoephedrine, 3.1 +/- 0.5 hours, and for phenylpropanolamine, 2.6 +/- 0.6 hours, were significantly shorter than those found by other investigators in adults. Pharmacokinetics were not dose dependent in the dose ranges studied.

Urinary pH can affect the elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine, prolonging it when alkaline (pH 8) and reducing it when acidic (pH 5). The elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine ranges from 3-6 or 9-16 hours when urinary pH is 5 or 8, respectively, while when urinary pH is 5.8, the elimination half-life of the drug ranges from 5-8 hours. In one study in children 6-12 years of age, the elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine averaged about 3 hours when urinary pH was 6.5.

Pseudoephedrine acts mainly as an agonist of alpha adrenergic receptors and less strongly as an agonist of beta adrenergic receptors. This agonism of adrenergic receptors produces vasoconstriction which is used as a decongestant and as a treatment of priapism. Pseudoephedrine is also an inhibitor of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin transporters. The sympathomimetic effects of pseudoephedrine include an increase in mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and chronotropic response of the right atria. Pseudoephedrine is also a partial agonist of the anococcygeal muscle. Pseudoephedrine also inhibits NF-kappa-B, NFAT, and AP-1.

Pseudoephedrine acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of the respiratory tract, producing vasoconstriction. The medication shrinks swollen nasal mucous membranes; reduces tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion; and increases nasal airway patency. Also, drainage of sinus secretions may be increased and obstructed eustachian ostia may be opened.

The pharmacological properties of the ephedrine derivative pseudoephedrine were investigated at the nuclear level. Following intraperitoneal injection of Sprague Dawley rats with pseudoephedrine, Fos induction was measured in various brain areas by Western blots and immunocytochemistry. Pseudoephedrine induced Fos-like immunoreactivity in the nucleus accumbens and striatum in a time and concentration-dependent manner with maximal effect at 60 mg/kg 2 hr after injection. Immunocytochemical studies confirmed that the majority of the signal was detectable in the nucleus accumbens and striatum. Pre-injection with the D1 dopamine receptor antagonist SCH23390 partially and completely blocked pseudoephedrine-induced Fos-like immunoreactivity in the striatum and nucleus accumbens, respectively, suggesting that the action of pseudoephedrine is mediated via dopamine release and results in the activation of D1 dopamine receptors. With the exception of the higher doses required, the actions of pseudoephedrine were similar to those previously described for the psychostimulant amphetamine.
