Tuaminoheptane is a sympathomimetic amine that acts as a nasal decongestant. It was formerly used in nasal sprays for the relief of nasal congestion associated with colds, allergies, and sinusitis. It has a similar mechanism of action as other alpha-adrenergic agonists. Tuaminoheptane is currently not widely used and is not approved in many countries due to potential for abuse and adverse cardiovascular effects.
No pharmacokinetic parameters for tuaminoheptane have been reported in peer-reviewed scientific literature in humans or animals. Thus, PK parameters are not available.
