- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI'm in UK. Perhaps they have a different one behind the counter? The "sudafed max strength" (presumably they added caffeine to make you think it was working?) I have only has phenylephrine. [The inefficacy has been reported for a long time, eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19230461/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19230461/ .] Edit: just checked, it seems out of the 30 or so "Sudafed" there is one with pseudoephedrine, the key phrase in the otherwise identical packaging is "clears catarrh". Woohoo! So "max strength" means "no better than placebo", lol.
- _carl_jung 8y agoHah, I don't remember the packaging. I think I went in and asked for the one with pseudoephedrine and the pharmacist understood.
- Nursie 8y agoBoots have their own brand pseudoephedrine tablets too, for future reference!
