these are not the original sudafed, the original is not being trashed. the original is behind the counter b/c it is used to help create meth.
The new one is not used for meth and likely doesn't work, but they use the trusted name like sudafed to sell it.
the FDA is a piece of shit, but I think on this one they may be right. If they force out the new form, the old form that works will still be available, just behind the counter as it has been for a decade plus.
This is critical thinking right here folks. Instead of blindly trusting the FDA, ask questions, research, and come to your own conclusion.
There may be other motives here ($$), but I too found current OTC decongestants to be lacking. Maybe these drugs work against COVID and they're doing to it what they did to Ranitidine.
They don't "ban" things because they "dont work". The way I see it, they are either effective at something they dont want them used for (like a new covid strain or a whole new bug) OR its a $ thing.
Like when they tried to ban NAC back when that was very good at battling covid
Benadryl, if actually included (first I heard, so now I'll need to look again) is also a very effective drug and is really good at what it does, it's just that first generation antihistamines are not great for your brain over time.
They never take these things off the shelf for "not working".
Remember that they were trying to get you to stop buying vitamin C as well.
they aren't talking about banning benadryl antihistamine, so other benadryl with the new type of decongestant.
I am not debating that fda doesn't have alterior motives, but the new version of the decongestants don't work as well as the old, and the old is now behind the counter making it more difficult to get.
It sounds like the new and the old have confused a lot of people as to what they are getting.

I have had no problem with OTCs working.

This needs to be higher!
