> Everyone knows phenylephrine is useless. It’s pretty easy to find phenylephrine on the shelves in Canada (I’d say about half the drugs use it vs pseudoephrine) so obviously somebody is buying it. Anecdotally, I always tell people to read the labels and only buy pseudoephrine based medication, and it’s consistently a surprise to people - I don’t think the difference was anywhere near universally known.
