Pholedrine hydrochloride, the main metabolite of methamphetamine, is an indirectly acting sympathomimetic amine. Pholedrine hydrochloride is a cardiovascular agent exerting hypertensive and adrenergic effects.

Pholedrine hydrochloride can be used as a topical eye drop and a diagnostic agent for use in Horner's syndrome[1][2][3].
