It’s 2 AM. You’re staring at the ceiling, the only sound that relentless, hacking cough and the feeling of a vise around your sinuses.

FDA to pull common but ineffective cold medicine from market
The FDA says oral phenylephrine, used in many over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, "is not effective as a nasal decongestant."
Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬After decades, #FDA finally moves to pull ineffective #decongestant off shelves
Last year, FDA advisors unanimously voted that oral #phenylephrine is ineffective.
Specifically, FDA issued a proposed order to remove oral phenylephrine from the list of drugs that drugmakers can include in over-the-counter products—also known as the OTC monograph. Once removed, drug makers will no longer be able to include phenylephrine in products for the temporary relief nasal congestion.

#FDA Proposes Removing Ineffective Nasal #Decongestant From Stores
It was added to cold and flu remedies in 90s when another ingredient went behind counter over illicit meth lab concerns. Experts show #phenylephrine, an ingredient of products like Tylenol, Mucinex and Benadryl, did not work as a decongestant. FDA emphasized the ingredient was not considered unsafe. This is one step closer to getting products containing it pulled from store shelves.

Kagan MacTane (he/him)Okay, Fediverse, what can I use for a nasal decongestant that won't knock me out? (Benadryl knocks me flat.)
*Something* out there has got my nose running like a faucet. Perpetual post-nasal drip; it's making my life hell. I already take 1 Zyrtec (cetirizine) every morning, and another before going to bed. Some medical person said to use that rather than Claritin; I forget why.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
