Tuaminoheptane

Tuaminoheptane (or tuamine) is a nasal decongestant drug which is a sympathomimetic stimulant and vasoconstrictor. However, it can cause skin irritation, which limits its usefulness as a nasal decongestant. Oral preparations were once available, but are no longer produced. Side effects associated with the use of tuaminoheptane can include shortness of breath, tachycardia and hypertension.
