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.

Yeah that had always been the case before but I compared them side by side recently and they’re no longer identical. Check it out.
Same goes for Excedrin and Midol. Used to have identical ingredients and dosages but recently midol replaced the aspirin with something else. Actually they might have replaced it with phenylephrine funny enough if I’m not mistaken.
Thanks fren.....I will have to take a look at that as I always bought the sleep pills because they were half the cost of the benedryl.
