#phenylephrine — Public Fediverse posts

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!

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.
