What Experts Say

Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic that relaxes the muscles lining the airways and also tightens blood vessels elsewhere in the body, which is why it has long been used to relieve asthma symptoms and bronchospasm, and occasionally low blood pressure during procedures.

Doctors today mostly favor newer, more selective bronchodilators for daily asthma control because they act more precisely on the lungs and cause fewer heart related side effects, but ephedrine still has a role for short term or occasional use when guided closely by a physician.

Because Globodrin tablet 30mg can raise heart rate and blood pressure, Pakistani physicians are careful when prescribing it to patients with heart disease, hypertension or thyroid problems, and its use is closely monitored throughout the entire course of treatment, with dose changes made only under medical advice and never on a patient's own judgment or based on how symptoms feel that day.
