Isn't that allergy medicine and an antihistamine? How does that keep you going?
it can be used as a stimulant but apparently the rumor in regards to trump is false.

The "false" rating is just if the photograph means he is abusing stimulants.
The photograph doesn't indicate or counterindicate that he's a hopped-up maniac who would be doing all-caps screeds on social media at 3am.
Edit to add: The photograph is real, though. Is it weird to have a chock-full Sudafed drawer?
It causes the body to release adrenaline and noadrenaline.
In the short run that is stimulating. In the long run it is detrimental to your body.
Very simplified speaking it is chemically related to amphetamines, which are shaped in a similar way like dopamine, adrenaline and the other stimulating hormones. So they all end up interactinf with similar parts of your hormone/neurotransmitter system.
By being a precursor to methamphetamine, I guess.
It's an amphetamine. I think that answers both questions.
