Don’t get me started on decongestants. Sudafed/Actifed and other meds that used pseudoephedirine WORKED and worked well.
The replacement drug, phenelyphrine, doesn’t work worth a sh*t when taken orally. It originally (and still is) a nasal spray and works OK that way but can’t be used for more than a couple days.
Suphedrdrine - A decongestant that is Phenylephrine HCI 10 mg (in a flat redish orange box)
ChlorTabs - An Antihistamine containing Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg (in a square green box)
This was at Walmart, so both are labeled by Equate. They seem to be helping my allergy, but both are a 4 hour pill.
