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 adrenegenic
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 sub-cortical
centers, which accounts for its use in narcolepsy.
The cardiovascular responses reported in man include moderate
tachycardia, unchanged or augmened
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.
