We've known for years Phenylephrine is shit.
Pharmacists used to offer it to you by default here, and they looked at you like you were a drug dealer when you said, "I'd like pseudoephedrine please."
Yesterday I went masked to the chemist and the pharmacist didn't even ask which; he went straight for the proper stuff and I happily handed over my driver's licence. Even they know phenylephrine does nothing!

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.

Sigh. Finally, but sigh. So are we going to get another useless drug as a replacement, or are they going to stick pseudoephedrine back directly on shelves for consumers, or what?

Anyone who uses #Theraflu, save 50% and buy Amazon Basics! I cannot tell the difference in taste & it works just as well! #COVID #CovidIsNotOver
ALSO, Phenylephrine HCI is STILL in this product! It does NOTHING when taken orally - by conclusion of an FDA committee!
"the current scientific data do not support that the recommended dosage of orally administered #phenylephrine is effective as a nasal decongestant."
Take another decongestant along with the #Theraflu!

It took five decades from the 1970s for the FDA to finally admit last year that oral phenylephrine, used as a decongestant in Sudafed and Lemsip, doesn't actually do anything.

US pharmacies are taking Big Pharma's phenylephrine based cold meds off the shelves after it has been conclusively shown they are no more effective than a placebo.
Meanwhile they continue to stock homeopathic cold remedies even though they are literally placebos. Do they think homeopathy users are just too gullible to sue them for misrepresenting water as medicine?
For something that works go behind the counter for pseudoephedrine.

Interestingly, the 2013 paper on how to make pseudoephedrine from meth cites a 2006 article, “Oral Phenylephrine: An Ineffective Replacement for
Pseudoephedrine?” L. Hendeles and R.C. Hatton, Journal
of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, vol. 118, 2006,
pp. 279–80It's may be news that oral #phenylephrine doesn't work, but it's not new.

With the recent discussion of #phenylephrine (which doesn't work as an oral decongestant) and #pseudoephedrine (which DOES work as an oral decongestant, but is kept behind the counter since it can be used to make meth), it's time to revisit a 2013 paper in the Annals of Improbable Research, describing how to make the difficult-to-obtain pseudoephedrine from methamphetamine, which can be obtained any time day or night at open-air retailers in most US cities:

#phenylephrine doesn't work taken orally. It still works as a nasal spray. Is still considered safe to use.Non-prescription, pseudoephedrine, does still work, but you need to ask for it.
“What’s more: It could possibly renew widespread use of an alternative, pseudoephedrine, which was placed behind store counters or in locked cabinets because it was often used in illicit meth labs.”
