Methylhexanamine (hydrochloride) is a simple aliphatic amine that was once marketed as a nasal decongestant (Forthane) but is now sold as a bodybuilding supplement (Floradrene, Geranamine). It is also sold as a mild stimulant in the form of party pills and has been reported to cause cerebral hemorrhage in a case report. While little is known about its mode of action, methylhexanamine interferes in immunoassays for amphetamines, presumably because of the common ethylamine structure. This compound is intended for forensic or research purposes.
