All, they are not banning the original sudafed, the original was pulled behind the counter a long time ago. The old stuff works for sure. Many don't know that there was even a change since the boxes look the same. So they sell the new stuff as if it were the old stuff. I never buy the new stuff b/c it doesn't work, either get the behind the counter stuff or pay a ton for mucinex dm.
Any way, yes the fda sucks, but that doesn't mean 100% of their decisions are wrong. Probably more like 95% are wrong.

Mucinex brand actually sells both drugs - pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine. the former is behind the counter.
good to know, moral of the story is always read the label and know what you are buying.
