| Wechselwirkungen | Administration of pseudoephedrine prior to or shortly after anesthesia with chloroform, cyclopropane, halothane, or trichloroethylene may increase the risk of severe ventricular arrhythmias, especially in patients with pre-existing heart disease, because these anesthetics greatly sensitize the myocardium to the effects of sympathomimetics.Enflurane, isoflurane, or methoxyflurane may also cause some sensitization of the myocardium to the effects of sympathomimeticscaution is recommended in patients taking pseudoephedrine.Antihypertensive effects may be reduced when these medications /antihypertensives or diuretics used as antihypertensives/ are used concurrently with pseudoephedrinethe patient should be carefully monitored to confirm that the desired effects is being obtained.Concurrent use /of beta-adrenergic blocking agents/ with pseudoephedrine may inhibit the therapeutic effect of these medicationsbeta-blockade may result in unopposed alpha-adrenergic activity of pseudoephedrine with a risk of hypertension and excessive bradycardia and possible heart block.For more Interactions (Complete) data for PSEUDOEPHEDRINE (17 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 73(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.89(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that pseudoephedrine is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). However, the pKa of pseudoephedrine is 10.25(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Pseudoephedrine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 8.3X10-4 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 73(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.89(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that pseudoephedrine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 10.25(4) indicates pseudoephedrine will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), pseudoephedrine, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 8.3X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase pseudoephedrine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 4 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 9.9X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Pseudoephedrine does not contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(4). |
| Expositionspfade | Pseudoephedrine is readily and almost completely absorbed from the GI tract and there is no evidence of first-pass metabolism. |
| Milk Concentrations | EXPERIMENTAL: Drug Concentrated in Human Milk. /from Table 6/EXPERIMENTAL: Plasma and milk concentrations of pseudoephedrine and triprolidine were determined (by radioimmunoassay) in three lactating mothers over 12-48 hr after ingestion of a combination medication containing 60 mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and 2.5 mg of triprolidine hydrochloride monohydrate. Pseudoephedrine concentrations in milk were consistently higher than those in plasma. The total amount of drug in milk, as judged by areas under the respective curves (AUC), was two to three times greater than in plasma. Triprolidine concentrations in milk and plasma were more variable between subjects than those of pseudoephedrine. AUC values for milk and plasma were similar for one subject, while the plasma value exceeded that for milk in another woman. The fraction of the dose excreted in milk was estimated to be 0.4-0.7% for pseudoephedrine and 0.06-0.2% for triprolidine.EXPERIMENTAL: Pseudoephedrine distributes into breast milkabout 0.5% of an oral dose is distributed into breast milk over 24 hours. |
| Toxizitätsübersicht | Pseudoephedrine acts directly on both alpha- and, to a lesser degree, beta-adrenergic receptors. Through direct action on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of the respiratory tract, pseudoephedrine produces vasoconstriction. Pseudoephedrine relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors. Like ephedrine, pseudoephedrine releasing norepinephrine from its storage sites, an indirect effect. This is its main and direct mechanism of action. The displaced noradrenaline is released into the neuronal synapse where it is free to activate the postsynaptic adrenergic receptors. |
| Signs and Symptoms | Common adverse reactions include nervousness, restlessness, and insomnia. Rare adverse reactions include difficult/painful urination, dizziness/lightheadedness, heart palpitations, headache, increased sweating, nausea/vomiting, trembling, troubled breathing, unusual paleness, and weakness. |
| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | The Koc of pseudoephedrine is estimated as 73(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.89(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that pseudoephedrine is expected to have high mobility in soil. However, the pKa of pseudoephedrine is 10.25(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). |

| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Pseudoephedrine is contained in decongestants such as the Sudafed line of products. ... Two analyses of health maintenance organization pharmacy data identified 9 malformed infants among 902 first-trimester pseudoephedrine exposures, suggesting no association with birth defects overallhowever, studies of such data sets often lack sufficient power to identify risks for specific birth defects. The related compounds, epinephrine, ephedrine, and phenylephrine, have been associated with hemorrhages and cardiovascular and limb malformations in animal models. Risk of ventricular septal defects was associated with decongestant use in pregnant women in 1 recent study. The vasoconstrictive effects of these drugs raise the hypothesis that their use in early pregnancy might increase the risk of vascular disruption defects. Case-control studies, which often do have power to identify risks related to specific birth defects, have explored this hypothesis. Decongestant use in the first trimester has been associated with small increases in risks of 3 defects thought to arise, at least in some instances, from vascular disruption-gastroschisis, small intestinal atresia, and hemifacial microsomia. These findings are somewhat consistent in terms of magnitude of effect and suggest that risks are even greater among women also exposed to the vasoconstrictive effects of cigarette smoking. There are, however, limitations to these studies, including the possibilities of inaccurate recall of exposures and confounding by indication. In addition, the majority of decongestant use is in oral form and the question of whether intranasal formulations carry risk has not been adequately addressed./SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Symptoms of overdose: Convulsionsfast breathinghallucinationsincrease in blood pressureirregular heartbeat, continuingshortness of breath or troubled breathing, severe or continuingslow or fast heartbeat, severe or continuingunusual nervousness, restlessness, or excitement./CASE REPORTS/ ... /The authors/ report a case of intracerebral hemorrhage occurring in a middle-aged man who suffered from chronic sinusitis and had been ingesting pseudoephedrine daily for one year.

Beschreibung
Pseudoephedrine is a stereoisomer of ephedrine, in the drug class of sympathomimetics. It occurs naturally in plants of the genus Ephedra. Pseudoephedrine is a mixed-acting decongestant, which activates α- and β-adrenergic receptors directly by binding to the receptor itself, and indirectly by causing norepinephrine release in synaptic nerve terminals. Pseudoephedrine is also used illicitly in the production of methamphetamine. In the United States, two recent acts of legislation – the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 and the Methamphetamine Production Prevention Act of 2008– have created stringent regulation on the sale of pseudoephedrine without a prescription. Pseudoephedrine-containing products were moved behind the counter, only to be sold by the pharmacist using their professional judgment and discretion. Limitations on the quantity of pseudoephedrine that could be purchased at one time and over a period of timewere enacted, and strict record keeping was required.
Verwenden
Pseudoephedrine is an orally active sympathomimetic amine that is used as a nasal decongestant. It exerts its decongestant action by acting directly on a-adrenergic receptors in the respiratory tract mucosa producing vasoconstriction resulting in shrinkage of swollen nasal mucous membranes, reduction of tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion, and an increase in nasal airway patency. Drainage of sinus secretions is increased and obstructed eustachian ostia may be opened. Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle by stimulation of b-adrenergic receptors may also occur.
