Benadryl active is diphenhydramine HCl
Sudafed (original) active is pseudoephedrine HCI
these are not the products being discussed. They are talking the new sudafed active Phenylephrine.
The only reason they created this new active was b/c the original was regulated and pulled behind the counter due to being used to create meth. The original is still available and far superior.
Not sure why they put benadryl on this, seems like click bait, benadryl is a different active, they are talking about some kind of sinus benadryl.
benadryl and sudafed are essentially using their branding to sell a new and different medicine that in my experience doesn't work as a decongestant.
straight benadryl works for allergies and that is what we think of when we hear benadryl. And the original sudafed works as a decongestant.
I posted on this the other day. I don't trust the FDA, but I want to make sure people understand the actual active ingredient they are discussion.
copypasta from my reply to the top comment.
