What’s actually in your sinus medicine?
Read the active ingredients on two labels to check for overlap. Do not identify a medicine from its brand name alone.
PseudoephedrineFor example, Sudafed Congestion
Oral phenylephrineFound in Sudafed PE formulations
These are different active ingredients. Always check the specific package.
FDA’s checked guidance describes oral phenylephrine as ineffective for nasal congestion and its removal as a proposal. It is not the same as nasal phenylephrine.
Select ingredients in both products to compare.
