	Phenylpropanolamine
		In order to understand how phenylpropanolamine works in the body, it is important to understand some background regarding the “autonomic nervous system.” The autonomic nervous system can be thought of as the “automatic” nervous system in that it controls physiologic functions that one is not aware of.
		Phenylpropanolamine is also a potent decongestant and is a common cold remedy ingredient.
		Phenylpropanolamine acts by causing the release of a hormone and neurotransmitter called “norepinephrine.” With chronic use, it is possible to deplete the body’s stores of norepinephrine and the patient will appear to become “resistent” to the effects of the drug.
