Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Xiheng
Ephedrine is an alkaloid drug primarily used to treat bronchial asthma, colds, allergic reactions, nasal mucosal congestion, edema, and hypotension. Ephedrine effectively relieves bronchial asthma and reduces the occurrence of asthma attacks. This medication can produce a stimulating effect. Don't rush—larger doses do not necessarily mean better results. As the saying goes, even beneficial medicines have some toxicity; what matters is whether the drug appropriately targets the condition.
