Pseudoephredrine is a pharmaceutical used as a decongestant and stimulant. It's salts are contained in many over-the-counter medications to treat colds. Although it is effective in treating nasal symptoms, it can cause heightened blood pressure, sweating, insomnia and anxiety. Moreover, because it can easily be transformed to amphetamines by a chemical process, it's sale is often closely restricted at the retail level. Because of its side effects, it should not be used by people with uncontrolled blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism or those with heart problems.

- Pseudoephedrine, also known as Pseudo or Sudo for short, is a chemical compound commonly found in anti-allergy medicines. It is also frequently used as the primary ingredient in the production of methamphetamine, which resulted in its use being heavily regulated by law. Walter White and Jesse Pinkman originally used the pseudoephedrine method to make their crystal meth, but soon switched to using methylamine when it became obvious that they could not feasibly obtain enough pseudoephedrine to produce the quantities that they needed to.
