Ephedrine HCL generally is 25mg of ephedrine and 200mg of Guaifenesin. It's a cough suppressant. I think Ephedrine has to be sold with it since I've never seen it without regardless of the brand. I've taken ephedrine hcl, caffiene and asprin for years. I haven't talk one of the herbal ephedra supplements in many years so the ban meant nothing to me.
