Drugs with ephedrine as the main ingredient are often used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and nasal congestion. Ephedrine can dilate the respiratory tract, help breathe smoothly and relieve breathing difficulties. In addition, ephedrine also has a refreshing effect and can be used to increase alertness when fatigued. Use caution, however, as overdose may cause heart problems and central nervous system stimulation. In Hong Kong, ephedrine is a controlled drug and can only be purchased with a prescription. When using ephedrine, attention should be paid to the dosage and frequency, and excessive use or long-term use should be avoided. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should seek medical advice immediately.
Instructions for use: Take the drug particles in the box orally with water each time. Best taken after meals to reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking it with caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, which can increase the burden on the heart.
Dosage Guidelines: Adults take 25 mg to 50 mg 3 to 4 times daily. Initial use should start with the lowest dose and gradually increase as needed. The dosage for children needs to be adjusted according to the physician's instructions. Generally, it should not exceed 10 mg each time and no more than 3 times a day. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice and do not adjust your dosage yourself.
Ephedrine is a commonly used drug, mainly used to treat asthma and nasal congestion. However, its side effects include rapid heartbeat, dizziness, insomnia, loss of appetite and anxiety. Some people may experience more serious side effects, such as high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, or heart problems. If any abnormal reaction occurs, stop taking it immediately and consult a doctor. Remember, it is not advisable to increase the dose on your own or take ephedrine for a long time to avoid harm to the body.
