STOP buying phenylephrine for nasal congestion 👀💊 If you’re reaching for Sudafed PE, check the active ingredient: oral phenylephrine. The FDA has proposed removing it as an OTC nasal decongestant after reviewing evidence that it isn’t effective at recommended doses. So what would a pharmacist reach for instead? Pseudoephedrine may be a better oral decongestant option for appropriate patients plus there are nasal sprays and other options depending on WHY you’re congested. Save this before your next pharmacy run. 💊 #Phenylephrine #Sudafed #NasalCongestion #Pharmacist #OTCMedicine
