A nasal decongestant that contains propylhexedrine. Propylhexedrine is a stimulant that is easier to get than ephedrine and is stronger than ephedrine, though still pretty adrenergic. Benzedrex is inhaled to decongest the nose. When the vapors are inhaled more than a few times early in the morning, it can wake you right up. Benzedrex is sometimes used as a pre-coffee as it gives you the energy and motivation you need to make the coffee and maybeclean things. However, propylhexedrine will show up as a false positive for amphetamine and possibly methamphetamine.
