Background
A description of the experience
Propylhexedrine (Benzedrex, Dristan, Obesin, Obestin-30) is a stimulant drug related to methamphetamine.
It is used mainly to provide “temporary symptomatic relief of nasal congestion” but being a vasoconstrictor it can cause considerable increase in blood pressure if misused.
EROWID has a number of case histories of people who ended up in Accident and Emergency. It is administered by inhalation.
Propylhexedrine has also seen use in Europe as an appetite suppressant under the trade name Obesin or Obestin. Lots of mostly negative experiences, see...... http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Pharms_Propylhexedrine.shtml
