Been on the market for years. Interesting considering some of their recent approvals.

I think I’ll grab a bottle or two, just in case they are wrong again.

Hasn’t worked for years. They made it hard to use the stuff that actually does work because of safetyism and meth heads.

Mucinex definitely works as a chest decongestant

I will testify to that in any court

I think mucinex has other active ingredients. From what I read the active ingredient that replaced Sudafed has a half life of 5-7 minutes. So it does work, just not effective.

I did have a pulmonary doctor tell me that those do absolutely no good these days.

He said they do make 90% of users sleep or at least relax which helps your body fight it.

He retired when the mask mandate came out during Covid and said he would never take the jab so I trust what the man says.

Phenylephrine is junk.

The stuff that actually does work is pseudoephedrine, which you must purchase at the pharmacy counter after you scan your driver’s license and pinky-promise not to cook methamphetamine.

Yep, I remember when the meth craze first hit, they started making you show ID to buy those medications and they limited you to like 1 per customer. I think now they have taken it off the market completely.

Yea my mucinex is guaf and definitely works.

The Sudafed shite ehhhh. We just found out it’s fake after all these years and billions sold?

More like Sudafed company’s check to the FDA bounced.

The FDA made Sudafed change their formula for most of their products. You have to request the real stuff from behind the counter.

It works, there must be something much more expensive trying to increase its market share.

Seems like something that should also apply to vaccines

If the FDA finds phenylephrine ineffective, drugmakers could be forced to pull certain drugs from store shelves in the U.S. Consumers might also have to seek behind-the-counter pills, nasal sprays or drops. Those products are not under review.


And the real reason is money. Shocking. Big pharma could make more money

They want to replace everything natural & OTC with a BigPharma controlled prescription. Load up asap. That shite works & will cure whatever they release next probably
