Use of Ephedra-containing Products and Risk for Hemorrhagic Stroke
Neurol 60:132-135, Morgenstern,L.B.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This case-control study examined the association between Ephedra use and risk for hemorrhagic stroke. For use of Ephedra at any dose during the 3 days before the stroke, the adjusted OR was 1.00 (95% CI 0.32 to 3.11). For daily doses of 32 mg/day, the OR was 3.59 (95% CI 0.70 to 18.35). Ephedra is not associated with increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke, except possibly at higher doses.
