- W1482709147 abstract "Ephedra has been used as a natural medicine for thousands of years by numerous cultures with very little concern about toxicity. Its most recent popularity is related to its purported “weight loss” or “performance enhancing” attributes. In spite of that in 2004, concerns over safety resulted in the banning of all over-the-counter (OTC) sales of ephedra-containing dietary supplements by the Food and Drug Administration. All ephedra plants contain phenylalanine-derived alkaloids, including ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methylephedrine, and trace amounts of phenylpropanolamine. Previously marketed herbal supplements typically stated total ephedra alkaloid content, although actual levels of individual alkaloid varied depending on raw material and production runs. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial by Boozer et al. examined issues of long-term safety and efficacy of ephedra, demonstrating its ability to reduce body weight and body fat while improving blood lipids without significant adverse events. Although other studies have documented a favorable adverse effect profile for appropriately administered doses of ephedra-containing supplements, there have been numerous anecdotal reports of adverse effects. Abuse and misuse of ephedra-containing products likely contributed to spontaneously reported adverse effects and increased concerns over safety. As with other sympathomimetic agents, theoretical drug interactions with ephedra alkaloids are possible. Despite this potential, only a handful of adverse drug interactions have been reported. This is especially pertinent when considering the extensive use of both ephedra-containing supplements and ephedrineor pseudoephedrine-containing OTC products. The most notable interaction exists between nonselective monoamine oxidase inhibitors and ephedraor ephedrine-containing products." @default.
