Description

Propylhexedrine Hydrochloride is an α-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine that acts as a local vasoconstrictor. It is the active ingredient in some over-the-counter nasal decongestants, typically by intravenous or oral delivery of the nasal decongestant. Propylhexedrine is known under the brand name Benzedrex. Propylhexedrine has also seen use in Europe as an appetite suppressant under the trade name Obesin and in the anticonvulsant preparation barbexaclone its S-isomer PROPYLHEXEDRINE HYDROCHLORIDE, (-)- (levopropylhexedrine or L-propylhexedrine) is bonded with phenobarbital for the purpose of offsetting the barbiturate-induced sedation. Levopropylhexedrine is also used as an anorectic under the brand name Eventin.
