Use "deoxyephedrine" in a sentence
"A little known fact is that the popular 'Vick inhaler' contains 50mg of methamphetamine described on the label by the synonym deoxyephedrine in free base oil form; however, it is not the psychoactive D-isomer of the drug but L-methamphetamine or levmetamfetamine, which has no psychostimulant properties but retains some sympathomimetic activity."
