Pseudoephedrine can be extracted from certain over-the-counter cold and allergy medications that contain it as the active ingredient. Common products include formulations of Sudafed and other similar antihistamines. The extraction process often involves using solvents to isolate the compound from the tablet or liquid form, though it is important to note that such practices can be illegal and dangerous. Additionally, many countries have regulations in place to limit the availability of pseudoephedrine due to its potential misuse in the illicit production of methamphetamine.

Why do you lose your appetite when taking cold and flu tablets?

Most cold and flu tablets contain pseudoephedrine, which is a stimulant and may cause you to lose your appetite. pseudoephedrine is extracted from these tablets to make methamphetamine, most people who use meth don't eat much which is why drug addicts are usually skinny (also they most likely spend their food money on drugs, good thing they don't have an appetite...)

What is the difference between Benadryl and pseudoephedrine?

Benadryl (at least, the box I have) contains three different medicines - one of which is phenylephrine, which is often used instead of pseudoephedrine (pseudoephedrine has gained a bad rep as a precurser to methamphetamine). There is some question about the effectiveness of phenylephrine, though studies have shown it performs much better than a placebo, even if it's not as effective as pseudoephedrine.


What are the differences in the effects of phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine on blood pressure?

Phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine are both decongestants that can raise blood pressure. However, phenylephrine has a more direct effect on blood vessels, leading to a quicker increase in blood pressure compared to pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine also has a weaker effect on blood pressure and may be preferred for individuals with high blood pressure.
