| | Routes | Nasal Inhalation | Levomethamphetamine (other names: l-desoxyephedrine, l-methamphetamine, levmetamfetamine ) is the l- stereoisomer of methamphetamine, a sympathomimetic vasoconstrictor which is the active ingredient used in some over-the-counter nasal decongestants. The common brand-name for levmetamfetamine in the U.S. is the Vicks Inhaler. In the U.S., the name was converted to levmetamfetamine from levo-methamphetamine to lower the risk of abuse of the decongestant preparation. In pharmacology and toxicology, a route of administration is the path by which a drug, fluid, poison or other substance is brought into contact with the body 1. ...

Recreational Use Although levo-methamphetamine is only very mildly centrally active (unlike dextro-methamphetamine, which acts mainly on the central nervous system), many recreational drug users abuse the inhaler preparation by cracking open the inhaler and then swallowing the cotton inside (as the cotton is soaked in levo-methamphetamine.) This gives the user a very mild "speedy" effect with a mild energy boost, similar to that of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. Sometimes uncomfortability and displesant feelings can arise by ingesting the cotton, since the cotton is also soaked in menthol and camphor. Both menthol and camphor are analgesics and can be possibly lethal at high doses. A diagram showing the CNS: 1. ...
