Whats the difference between ephedrine sulfate and ephedrine HCL?

Sulphate salt MW = 214.2
Chloride salt MW = 201.2
Ephedrine FB = 165.2

26.6mg eph sulphate = 25mg eph HCl = 20.5 mg ephedrine base
 
Sekio is a ninja, that's how.

What is this anyway, a chemistry class? Do you know what moles are?

Essentially, ephedrine on it's own weights a certain amount (this is the base). The -sulphate and -chloride weigh different amounts, much less than the ephedrine as ephedrine is an organic amine with considerably more atoms (it looks like this). Add ephedrine + chloride and you get ephedrine chloride. Same with sulphate.

Sulphate salt MW = 214.2
Chloride salt MW = 201.2
Ephedrine FB = 165.2

You want the chloride salt to be 25g. So first: 201.2/25=8.04

For the sulphate:
214.2/8.04=26.6 so the sulphate salt is 26.6g in comparison

For the freebase:
165.2/8.04=20.5 so ephedrine base is 20.5g in comparison.

And I am drunk.

Love this post :)... Exactly the sort of stuff I used to hate doing, so it's good to see other people explaining it.
 
Haha fuck knows why I'm sat here at 3.30am doing maths on BL..

Hahahaha, indeed, I utterly hate the stuff, but it's alright when it starts to make sense. Of the listed forms of Ephedrine, does the HCL have the best bioavailability? I know FB is smaller, but I remember reading something about something...
