Everything to know about phenylephrine, the common cold and flu decongestant that apparently doesn't actually work.
The agency cited years of research that indicates the drug doesn’t actually help relieve congestion even though it’s the active ingredient in many of the most widely used OTC meds out there, including versions of Sudafed, Benadryl, Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil, Tylenol, Mucinex, and many others. They’re now working to determine whether or not it should be banned altogether, which would result in all these meds being pulled from store shelves and online inventory.
It might sound alarming, but Julapalli adds, “With any medication, side effects are possible.” Even with OTC meds and supplements, you will want to check in with your doctor before starting and if you experience any side effects or if your symptoms worsen.
