FDA rules TODAY that ingredient in Benadryl and Sudafed from pharmacy shelves don't work
Daily Mail ^ | September 12, 2023 | Cassidy Morrison

A Food and Drug Administration panel today unanimously ruled that a medicine used by millions for a stuffy nose does not work.

Phenylephrine is the most common active compound in over-the-counter drugs like Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion, Sudafed PE, and Tylenol Cold and Flu Severe Day & Night.

But an FDA panel said after a two-day review that the oral decongestant ‘is not effective’ at standard or even high doses.

Their ruling is not binding but it strongly suggests that the agency could soon heed their advice and pull its approval, which would force companies to pull or reformulate their products.

The ingredient is protected under the FDA’s Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (GRASE) designation, but a reversal of its approval could mean manufacturers including Bayer and Johnson and Johnson might need to reformulate.

millions of stuffy, runny noses and people suffering from nasal allergies beg to disagree.

What a time to live in.

Or possibly, there is an ingredient that causes the NEW clot-shot to not work as desired.

A receptor cleaner like Beta-blockers?

Sudafed used to work. We used it to insure clear air passages when scuba diving. Then the druggies started using it to cook meth. Then they dumbed it down.

Hasn’t worked since.

There’s never been any evidence phenylephrine is anything better than a placebo for nasal congestion. This is overdue.

Do NOT however, get it confused with pseudoephedrine- that’s the good stuff. (The one you have to show ID for thanks to it being easy to cook into meth).

Sudafed PE- worthless

Regular Sudafed: great decongestant

I’m seeing a lot of news stories failing to distinguish between the two, and a lot of misinformed people.

How did phenylephrine get FDA approval in the first place? Methinks that, payoffs took place, and if that’s the case, investigations and arrests need to occur.

But, this could be another ‘ivermectin’ type case, in which case, the FDA needs to be reigned in.

This is phenylephrine, not pseudoephedrine. Previous studies have shown that pseudoephedrine (what people usually are thinking of when taking Sudafed) is significantly more effective than phenylephrine. If they were going to take pseudoephedrine off the market I would be upset - as it definitely works.
