Ephedrine Side Effects And Precautions

Ephedrine gained its primary fame as a weight loss drug. It is not, however, considered by many healthcare professionals and medical researchers as a safe herb to help people loose weight. In most cases, the doses used for weight loss are far beyond the 150 mg per 24 hours safety limit that has been established. It is now believed that higher doses cause many amphetamine-like side effects, including dry mouth to more severe problems including heart failure.

Too high of Ephedrine levels in the system may cause severe problems including anxiety, headaches, restlessness, high blood pressure, and even insomnia.

Ephedrine is considered an amphetamine; like other amphetamines, it is addictive. When individuals stop using ephedra after prolonged use, they may experience withdrawal symptoms including cold sweats, mood swings, and heart palpitations. When used to lose weight, a common response to its removal from the system is binge eating. As a result, all the weight previously lost is almost immediately gained back.

Most notable is Ephedrine's potentially dangerous effect of overstimulating the central nervous system, raising blood pressure, and increasing heart rate.

Finally, strong evidence indicates that Ephedrine may react badly with a variety of medical conditions including with high blood pressure, heart problems, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes.
