Benzedrine - levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine - molecules 3D model

Benzedrine (_bennies_) is the brand name of a decongestant first marketed in 1933. It was the first pharmaceutical drug to contain amphetamine. Benzedrine contained an equal (racemic) mixture of:

• levoamphetamine (Formula: C9H13N; CAS: 156-34-3) and
• dextroamphetamine (Formula: C9H13N; CAS: 51-64-9).

Benzedrine was used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions including narcolepsy, obesity, low blood pressure and low libido. Because of its side effects and addictive nature, benzedrine became a controlled, prescription-only drug in the 50s and 60s. Levomethamphetamine is still used as the active ingredient in certain brands of inhalers in some countries.
