Did big phenylephrine's check not clear this year? Why did the FDA approve it previously if it didn't work?
> These products generated nearly $1.8 billion in sales last year alone
A real mystery.
- mikecoles 3y agoA new, prescription-only, medication is likely coming out.
- _moof 3y agoJust heard about this on the radio. It works as a nasal spray, and was approved back in the 1970s when medical trials were different than they are now (in some way that the radio show guest, a professor of pharmacy, didn't explain). It doesn't work when taken orally because less than 1% of it survives the trip to your nose, and wouldn't pass trials today for the oral route.
