I just want them to stop treating those of us who have known this for years and opted for pseudoephedrine to be treated as if we were drug manufacturers/users by forcing ID checks at a pharmacy.
One time a couple of years ago I had the cold from hell. My nose had been totally blocked for a couple of days so I took a bunch of cold and flu pills which were paracetamol and some other decongestant magic. Woke up the next morning and blew my nose… something amazing happened. It was like turning on a tap, all this crap just started pouring out. I couldn’t do anything I had to just stand over the basin while my head drained. It was the grossest yet most amazing feeling, I’ve always credited those pills but now I’m second guessing it
This has been an open secret for years.
I had bad asthma as a child. I was more often on Actifed than not, and it was great. Comparing Sudafed and Actifed is apples and oranges, despite Sudafed supposed to be stronger. Actifed always worked for me, and worked all, but Actifed was discontinued.
Yeah. The drug probably works--but if it doesn't get to where it's supposed to be that doesn't matter. Some people pick it up better, it works for them. Most people don't absorb much at all.
