✍️ The FDA is moving to phase out phenylephrine, a common ingredient in over-the-counter cold and cough medicines, due to its lack of effectiveness in relieving nasal congestion.
👉 Phenylephrine is a common ingredient in over-the-counter cold and cough medicines 👉 The FDA has proposed revoking its use in oral medications due to lack of effectiveness 👉 Experts say phenylephrine is often ineffective because it is quickly broken down in the stomach 👉 Alternatives such as nasal sprays or solutions, or prescription medications like nasal steroids are recommended 👉 The FDA must follow a public, multistep process to remove the ingredient from FDA's list of drugs approved for over-the-counter decongestants
