Nordefrin is a catecholamine sympathomimetic used as a topical nasal decongestant and vasoconstrictor. Nordefrin is a racemic mixture of levo- and dextro- isomers and levonordefrin to be 100 to 200 times more active than dextro-nordefrin in raising blood pressure. Nordefrin is a structural isomer of epinephrine and levonordefrin produced a greater increase in heart rate than epinephrine.
