    It's called Ephedrine, but yes, that is the ingredient that has caused so many unexpected problems. It is also the active ingredient tin making methamphetamines...that's why it is not a semi-controlled drug and behind the pharmacy counter..which you have to sign for.

    Things like Sudafed etc have that in them.
