It's not regular benadryl that they are talking about. It's the formulation with phenylephrine in it.


They are saying that phenylephrine does not work:

When metabolized in the gut, phenylephrine can’t reach the bloodstream in sufficient levels, denying its ability to provide relief.


I'm calling bull shite because I've taken medication with phenylephrine and it works as described every time.

I wonder if they are removing it because it's a short step precursor to crystal meth?

Y'all are misreading this entirely.

The replacement for the drug that was replaced several years ago is considered ineffective. That's probably true. They should put the pseudo back in and take out the phenylephrine.

Few of these OTC meds include just phenylephrine, though. A lot include guaifenesin, which will clear up sinuses and bronchial passageways.

I was pointing out that benadryl or its generic, diphenhydramine, is not on the chopping block. That's the portion that provides allergy relief.

Pseudoephedrine degrades a lot after 9 months. Stocking up won't help much

5%-10% of all school-aged kids are getting amphetamines every day and this country still fear mongers about cold medication.

Denis Leary’s routine about NyQuil and Sudafed being acceptable alternatives to illegal drugs or alcohol abuse stays evergreen.

The title of the article is click-bait and very misleading.

The FDA is correct. Phenylephrine is basically useless and probably should be removed from the market.

NyQuil Zzzzzs changed up their night-time med. It is now a antihistamine.


I think it was always an antihistamine. Most over the counter sleep-aids are either diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine succinate.

And a PT dolt decided to make a stupid sexist statement which was neither solicited nor worth wasting time on.

And this statement is based on your vast pharmaceutical expertise? Whenever the FDA appoints 'advisory panels' nothing good for the consumer ever happens. Are they going to put back in the effective ingredient they took out a few years back?!?!

Well, Phenylephrine *is* useless. That's what you buy over the counter without showing an ID. Pseudoephedrine actually works, but you already have to show an ID in every state I've been in to buy it.

That's cool and all to prevent meth production, but when you can ship $$$$$$ worth of Fentanyl through the southern border with no issue, can I just buy my fricking good Sudafed with less hassle?
