METHYLHEXANEAMINE, an amphetamine derivative, is also known as 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA). It was introduced in 1948 as a nasal inhaler for allergic or infectious rhinitis. By the 1970s, it had been withdrawn from the market. DMAA is currently used as an ingredient in many sports performance and weight loss products. According to FDA, it is not a dietary ingredient, and DMAA-containing products marketed as dietary supplements are illegal and their marketing violates the law.

Approved Use

Methylhexamine, a volatile sympathomimetic amine base, and its salts share the actions and uses of other vasoconstrictor agents. Methylhexamine is used as an inhalant for its local vasoconstrictor action on the nasal mucosa. This treatment produces temorary relief of nasal congestion and is used as an adjunct in the treatment of allergic or infectious rhinitis and sinusitis. For this purpose the drug is supplied in the form of the carbonate which readily releases the volatile base when the inhaler is opened. This method of local application of the drug produces little or no effect upon the pulse rate or blood pressure of adult humans.
