CALIFORNIA EPHEDRA ATTORNEY - California Ephedra Lawyer

Ephedra Sinica (Ma Huang) is a 5000 year old Chinese medicine. It's has been used as medicine against asthma, allergies and hay fever. Lately it is widely used as an energizer and weight-loss product. Some common names for it are Ephedrine, Epitonin and Ma Huang. Ephedra is a sympathetic nerve stimulant resembling adrenaline. In a number of states of the USA, the conditions under which ephedra may be sold are restricted. Sale of ephedra as 'Herbal XTC' or 'Herbal Speed', for instance, is forbidden. However, ephedra is legally available in all US states (except Nebraska) as overthecounter drug. Three billion servings were sold in 1998, and it is estimated that from 4 to 15 million Americans take Ephedra products. A panel of experts, hired by Ephedra makers, claim that no serious health problems result if the product is taken as directed. Since Ephedra is considered a botanical ingredient and not a drug, it is regulated by the FDA under the Dietary Supplemental Health and Education Act of 1994. Ephedrine can produce the following adverse reactions: heart attack, stroke, tachycardia, paranoid psychosis, depression, convulsions, coma, fever, vomiting, palpitations, hypertension, and respiratory depression.
