  Not sure how the conversation went from the drug they want to remove Phenylephrine (as being ineffective,) to pseudoephedrine, (the one used as an ingredient for making meth.) But, I know for a fact that Benadryl does work for allergies. I did an online search at Walmart for the drugs they sell that have the ingredient they say doesn’t work—Phenylephrine. https://www.walmart.com/search?q=phenylephrine&page=3&affinityOverride=store_led https://www.walmart.com/search?q=phenylephrine&page=3&affini...
