The activity of the sympathetic nerve is responsible for the physiological needs of the body when it is in a state of tension, causing constricted blood vessels, increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and reduced secretion of the digestive glands
While animal studies show a good safety profile, a theoretical risk involving its pro-angiogenic effects and potential cancer promotion is a point of consideration, though no evidence has supported this risk in practice
