What is Benzedrex?
Benzedrex is a non-prescription nasal spray to relieve nasal congestion due to allergies, colds, or hay fever.
The active ingredient in Benzedrex, propylhexedrine, belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-adrenergic agonists, making it similar to amphetamines and ephedrine, two other drugs that are or were commonly used as nasal decongestants. It works by binding to chemical receptors in the nerves lining the nose. As a result, these nerves constrict blood vessels leading into the nose and reduce swelling. Benzedrex is administered as a nasal spray. Two inhalations are taken in each nostril. Doses should be spaced at least two hours apart.
What are the side effects of Benzedrex?
Side effects of Benzedrex include, but are not limited to, burning, dryness, and rebound nasal congestion. Benzedrex is a stimulant, so side effects might also include rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, fever, and chills, especially if taken too frequently or in high doses. As a stimulant, Benzedrex may also cause mental and mood changes including restlessness and anxiety. Allergic reactions are not common, but you should discontinue use of Benzedrex if you notice rash, swelling, or start to have trouble breathing.
As a stimulant, Benzedrex is often subject to abuse through ingestion or injection. Abuse of Benzedrex can cause serious heart problems, psychosis, and death.
