Have you been misled about the effectiveness of your nasal decongestant?
According to a recent FDA Panel report, many popular orally consumed over-the-counter cold medicines containing the chemical phenylephrine, do not actually work to relieve nasal congestion.
The FDA Drug Advisory Committee stated that multiple studies have shown that phenylephrine, which is a common ingredient in many of the most popular over-the-counter oral cold medicines, is no better than a placebo in its ability to act as a decongestant.
Below is a list of popular over-the-counter medicines containing phenylephrine, contact us if you have used one of these products.
