Looked into it. This isn’t what I thought it was. They aren’t looking to ban sudafed where the active ingredient is pseudoephedrine, which is the stuff that actually works that you have to scan your drivers license at the pharmacy counter to buy, it’s the over the counter kind where the active ingredient is phenylephrine which, the FDA unfortunately is right, literally doesn’t work for shit. My wife and I learned this a long time ago. If you can buy it without a drivers license honestly I couldn’t care less if they ban it because I honestly don’t know what it even does. But the good stuff that you need a drivers license to buy apparently isn’t going anywhere so we can probably put our pitchforks down on this particular issue at least.

If it's Benadryl (tiny pink pills), it works great for my allergies.
And it was really helping people with COVID, which is likely the REAL reason they want to ban it, just like they tried with NAC, HCQ, and ivermectin.
Benadryl just knocks me out, personally. Have found much better allergy meds that don’t cause drowsiness.
Take it at night. Above all, do not agree with it being banned for the people it helps.
Agreed.
No that’s diphenhydramine and not related to this except that some medicines combine diphenhydramine with phenylephrine. The latter is actually ineffective in pill form so as much as the fda likes to fuck shit up, I think they’re right on this one.
Huh ok
