CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ephedrine sulfate is a potent sympathomimetic that stimulates both α
and β receptors
and has clinical uses related to both actions. Its peripheral actions,
which it owes in part
to the release of norepinephrine, simulate responses that are obtained
when adrenergic
nerves are stimulated. These include an increase in blood pressure,
stimulation of heart
muscle, constriction of arterioles, relaxation of the smooth muscle of
the bronchi and
gastrointestinal tract, and dilation of the pupils. In the bladder,
relaxation of the detrusor
muscle is not prominent, but the tone of the trigone and vesicle
sphincter is increased.
Ephedrine sulfate also has a potent effect on the CNS. It stimulates
the cerebral cortex
and subcortical centers, which accounts for its use in narcolepsy.
The cardiovascular responses reported in man include moderate
tachycardia,
unchanged or augmented stroke volume, enhanced cardiac output,
variable alterations
in peripheral resistance and usually a rise in blood pressure. The
action of ephedrine is
more prominent on the heart than on the blood vessels. Ephedrine
sulfate increases the
flow of coronary, cerebral and muscle blood.
