Some categories of the active ingredient of this medication are adrenergic agents, adrenergic agonists, cardiac stimulants excl. cardiac glycosides, cardiac therapy, Phentermine, sympathomimetics, vasoconstrictor agents.

Large doses may depress the myocardium or produce effects in the central nervous system.
