slepyyzSo you have ibuprofen and pseudo HCl in your pills. Also, whatever the inactive ingredients are, but it's not so important. Pseudoephedrine is not very soluable in acetone.
Ibuprofen is soluable in acetone. Most likely, so is the coating on the pills, and perhaps (hopefully) some of the inactive ingredients. So if there is a color coating, wash it off with cold dry acetone. After you get it off, then crush the pills and dissolve everything into cold dry acetone again. Keep the solids, this is your PSE, get rid of the liquid. Repeat this atleast 3 times. Try to only use just enough acetone to do the job and no extra. Make sure it is cold as you can get it and dry with a dessicant (Mg2SO4) - No moisture! Otherwise you are just wasting your PSE.

After you washed with acetone and you have your solids, now dissolve the solids in dry methanol. PSE is very soluable in methanol. Ibuprofen and the color coating is also, but we got rid of them with the acetone already. So the only other thing with our PSE in the methanol is whatever inactive ingredients that are soluable in methanol that the acetone didn't wash away. If you are doing a SNB, these trace inactives probably won't matter because the SNB reaction is 'dry' - there is little to no H2O, however, if you are doing a RP cook, you may want to check your inactive ingredients and their soluability properties and try to remove them if you need to. You will want to perform this BEFORE you dissolve your solids in methanol. If the only ingredient left with your solids that is soluable in methanol is your PSE, then you don't need to worry. Pour your methanol in an evaporation dish and let it evaporate. Wash your solids with methanol atleast 3 times, filter it very well and combine all of the methanol and let it evaporate. It will crystalize in your dish and you can scrape up some pretty decent grade PSE for experimentation. You should be good to go forward with your PSE at this point.

Good luck, take care.

slepyyzHave you searched the forum..I'm pretty sure I've seen someone with a extraction with the same ingredients of these pills

Ephedrine extraction from pills methods

Introduction It is totally OTC and uses activated carbon as a cleaning aide while exploiting characteristics of VM&P naphtha. Average yield is 60 % of very clean free base. Definitions In this write-up will be used the phrase "for every box of pills used". This stands for every box of 48 x 60...

Extraction of pseudoephedrine from pharmaceutical (Sudafed) tablets.
Pseudoephedrine was extracted from Sudafed tablets using ethanol, ethanol/methanol (90:10% vol/vol) and methylated spirits. The solvents were chosen with reference to the relevant clandestine literature. For each extraction, one Sudafed tablet was crushed using a mortar and pestle and placed in a beaker. The iron oxide coating was removed by repetitive washing with acetone (10 mL in total) until all of the red colour had disappeared. The acetone was removed by filtration and the residue was allowed to dry. The extracting solvent (15 mL) was added to the beaker, which was then covered with aluminum foil and the sample shaken using mechanical agitation for 15 min. The sample was left to settle for one hour at room temperature, and then filtered using gravity filtration. The solvent was evaporated, and the resultant solid collected.

Iodine from iodine tinctures.
Iodine tincture (7 mL, 2.5%) and distilled water (7 mL) were combined together and mixed with swirling. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 mL) was added dropwise with swirling, followed by hydrogen peroxide (7 mL, 6 % 20 vols). The mixture was poured into a beaker containing distilled water (50 mL) and left to stand for 20 min. The mixture was subsequently filtered using gravity filtration to reveal the iodine crystals.

Extraction of red phosphorous from matchboxes.
Matchbook strikers were cut off from locally purchased KTWO safety matchboxes and soaked in acetone (10 mL). After 30 min, the red phosphorous was scrapped from the strikers, and the paper discarded. The extracted red phosphorous was washed with distilled water and left to dry to a constant weight. The dry red phosphorous was placed in a beaker, and sodium hydroxide solution (20% wt/vol, 20 mL) was added. This solution was placed on a low heat for 2 h. The final product was filtered, washed with distilled water and left to dry to a constant weight.

Synthesis of methylamphetamine using the Moscow and Hypophosphorous routes.
Six batches of methylamphetamine hydrochloride were prepared using each synthetic route for laboratory grade pseudoephedrine and pseudoephedrine extracted from Sudafed tablets as previously described. In the case of the extracted precursor samples, the essential chemicals (iodine and phosphorous), used in the synthesis, were also extracted from tinctures and matchboxes. Twenty-four batches of methylamphetamine hydrochloride were prepared using each route, providing 48 batches in total.​

[1] Moscow route:
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (2.0 g) was mixed in a round bottom flask (100 mL) together with red phosphorous (0.6 g), iodine (4.0 g) and distilled water (2 mL) and a condenser attached. The mixture was refluxed for 24 h and then allowed to cool. Once cool, the mixture was diluted with an equal volume of water and the red phosphorus filtered out. A few grams of sodium thiosulfate were placed into a beaker, and sodium hydroxide solution (25% wt/vol, 8 mL) added to basify the solution. This was then added to the filtered reaction mixture, and swirled to reveal methylamphetamine free base
As an oil, which floated to the top of the aqueous solution. Toluene (20 mL) was added to extract the methylamphetamine free base. The toluene extract was clear to pale yellow. Anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled through to reveal a white precipitate, which was washed with toluene. The solid was dried under high vacuum.

[2] Hypophosphorous route:
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (2.0 g) was placed into a round bottom flask (100 mL) and mixed with iodine (4.0 g) and hypophosphorous acid (3.6 mL) and a condenser attached. The mixture was refluxed for 8 h, then allowed to cool. Once cool, the mixture was diluted with an equal volume of water. A few grams of sodium thiosulfate were placed into a beaker, and 25 % sodium hydroxide solution (24 mL) was added to extract the methylamphetamine free base. Extraction and precipitation of the salt was as previously described.​

WillDso we dont have Sudafed tablets in my country so can i use Tablet contains a combination of paracetamol, chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine as its active ingredients for Extraction of pseudoephedrine
