Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine used as a decongestant, bronchodilator, and central nervous system stimulant. It is commonly used to treat hypotension during anesthesia and historically as a treatment for asthma and nasal congestion. Its use is currently limited in many countries due to potential for misuse and adverse cardiovascular effects.
