Racephedrine Free Base in combination with theophylline, phenobarbital was used to treat bronchial asthma. However, its application was substituted more effective agent. In addition, FDA has reviewed the final monograph for over-the-counter bronchodilator drug products to add additional warnings and to revise the indications in the labeling of products containing racephedrine hydrochloride.
