Wikipedia
Pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine (PSE) is a sympathomimetic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes. It may be used as a nasal/sinus decongestant, as a stimulant, or as a wakefulness-promoting agent in higher doses.It was first characterized in 1889 by the German chemists Ladenburg and Oelschlägel, who used a sample that had been isolated from Ephedra vulgaris by the Merck pharmaceutical corporation of Darmstadt, Germany. The salts pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine sulfate are found in many over-the-counter preparations, either as a single ingredient or (more commonly) in a fixed-dose combination with one or more additional active ingredients such as antihistamines, guaifenesin, dextromethorphan, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or an NSAID (such as aspirin or ibuprofen).

pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant drug that is commonly used to reduce nasal congestion symptoms associated with conditions like colds, allergies, or sinus infections. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. It is sold both over-the-counter and with a prescription and is sometimes used in the illicit production of methamphetamine, leading to regulated sales in many places.
