> And no, they don't use Desoxyn. I called the doctor that the maker of Desoxyn uses to research the stuff and give advice to the company on things related to it, and he said he was looking for studies but hadn't been able to find any yet. He said it was likely because it was first made in 1944.Some people would say he's a lucky Doc. He may want to try Lillys Drug Archives,or any Lilly drug service reps, working for them around 1950, for info, as they produced a product containing Methamphetamine, opps, I mean (d-desoxyephedrine) in 1950 which sold under the trade name "Amphetdroxyn" in two tablet sizes and in liquid form! so as thoes poor Hyperkinetic kiddies could take it by the teaspoon:). <I hope it was a refreshing minty flavour>
