Myocardial infarction pseudoephedrine

Kaye and Fainstat 1987 Wooten et al. 1983). The risk of cerebral hemorrhage is even greater when combining ephedrine with other catecholamine stimulants such as the over-the-counter stimulant phenyl-propanolamine (StoessI et al. 1985). Pseudoephedrine may be safer than ephedrine in some respects (Porta et al. 1986). In a large sample (n > 100,000) of pseudoephedrine users, there were no reports of cerebrovascular disorders within 15 days after administration. The incidence of myocardial infarction, seizures, and neuropsychiatric disorders were no greater than base rates in the general population.

Cardiovascular A 45-year-old man had signs of an inferior myocardial infarction after taking pseudoephedrine metoprolol reversed the signs and symptoms and coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries [80" ]. A similar case was reported in a 33-year-old man [81 ]. 

Drug overdose A 16-year-old girl took 25 tablets of Sudafed, each containing pseudoephedrine 60 mg [83 ]. She complained of nausea and headache and had a fine tremor of the fingers and a tachycardia of 140/ minute. The serum creatine kinase activity and myoglobin were increased. In another case accidental overdose of a modified-release formulation of pseudoephedrine was associated with a hypertensive crisis and a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction [84 ].
