My anecdata is that, though it's not as effective as pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine actually is effective in an inhaler, and a helluva lot better at clearing up a stuffy nose than "scents and essential oils". Of course, a cylindrical inhaler with a wick inside it doesn't go near my digestive tract... Now I'll have to look around for a replacement inhaler, something quick enough to avert choking-panic. Thanks, CVS.
- ksenzee 2y agoNo you won’t! It’s just the oral formulations that are being taken off the shelves. The inhaled version does indeed work and will still be available.
- crb3 2y agoIt's off the shelf at my local CVS (e: and has been for weeks). I looked.
- lucubratory 2y agoThat's their company policy or a supply issue, not the FDA's decision.
- crb3 2y agoThanks, CVS.
- lucubratory 2y agoIt's only the oral version which has no effect and is thus being pulled. The inhaled version has more evidence that it works and will remain available.
