Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500382

Oxilofrine is a sympathomimetic used to treat hypotensive states, with cardiac stimulatory effects similar to those of ephedrine. It has never been approved for use in the USA as a prescription drug or as a dietary supplement. Oxilofrine has been found (1) to act predominantly as a beta1 agonist increasing the speed and force of heart muscle contraction (inotropic effects), specifically, increasing left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume; (2) to increase blood pressure; (3) to have variable effects on heart rate; and (4) to potentially increase oxygen uptake by the lungs.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Oxilofrine is a sympathomimetic used to treat hypotensive states, with actions similar to those of ephedrine.

Sample Use Guides

The usual adult dose is 32 mg.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Experiments in vitro have shown oxilofrine to release noradrenaline from rat cardiac ventricular sections. This effect sets in at a concentration of 10^-5 mol/l and reaches the 30% level at 5*10^-5 mol/l. The inhibition of noradrenaline storage is still more pronounced. At 5*10^-5 mol/l the inhibition is 60%.
