Wasn’t EPINEPHRINE pulled off the shelves. It was, IIRC, in weight loss and some people reacted very, very poorly. Heart problems.
Maybe since it is a mist, they’re worked out the EPINEPHRINE by now.

The herb/plant ephedra was sold as a weight loss aid.
There was nothing wrong with them IF used as directed. The bad experiences were in people who abused the product, i.e. had pre-existing conditions and were warned not to use it but used it anyway usually in above recommended doses, and in people living on coffee and ephedra. FYI, You can kill yourself drinking too much mater - 'water intoxication'.
Pseudoephedrine, a component (alkoloid) of ephedra, is used in over-the-counter decongestants. The nanny state now makes you sign to buy.
Ephedrine is another components of ephedra that has been used traditionally to open up the lungs. It was available over the counter as Primatne Mist until the FDA banned it because it contained CFC propellants. Protecting the Ozone hole the Climate Change BS.
