What Are The After Effects Of Consuming Pseudoephedrine With Red Bull?
Question: Do people use Red Bull and pseudoephedrine together for some kind of "high"? What would be some dangers?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Some people do indeed do this. There are significant dangers here. Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant, and abuse of it can cause extreme anxiety, panic, depression, heart palpitations, and even heart attacks and brain hemorrhages. Red Bull potentiates all these effects and makes them more likely. I strongly advise against abusing these at all, but especially abusing them together, as it is highly dangerous.
