WHAT DOES BENZEDRINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Benzedrine

Benzedrine is the trade name of the racemic mixture of amphetamine. The drug was often referred to as "bennies" by users and in literature. It was marketed under this brand name in the USA by Smith, Kline and French in the form of inhalers, starting in 1933. Benzedrine was used to enlarge nasal and bronchial passages, and it is closely related to other stimulants produced later, such as methamphetamine. Benzedrine should not be confused with the different substance benzphetamine.
