The experts from the US FDA say that oral decongestant pills with phenylephrine (called PE) do not work well for stuffy noses because they break down before getting into your body. They want to change how these pills are labeled to stop people from being misled. This might make companies change their products. A group that represents these companies is worried about this. But scientists and researchers are happy about the findings. In 2022, PE pills made $1.76 billion in the US, while better options like pseudoephedrine (called PSE) made $542 million. It's important to educate consumers so the

  1. Ineffectiveness of Oral Decongestant Ingredient Highlighted by FDA Panel WhatsApp : +44(782)-201-3567 (UK) +1(646)631-6696 (USA) +91-904-002-3003 (India Email id : support@manuscriptedit.com

  2. Oral phenylephrine-based (PE) decongestants, widely used for nasal congestion, have been deemed ineffective by a US FDA expert panel after analyzing clinical trials. The medicine fails to alleviate nasal stuffiness when ingested due to significant breakdown before entering the bloodstream. Consequently, the panel recommends reclassifying oral PE decongestants to prevent misleading labeling. This may compel manufacturers to reformulate popular products. While the FDA’s response is pending, a trade organization representing manufacturers expresses concern. In contrast, scientists and researchers welcome the findings. In 2022, PE decongestants generated $1.76 billion in sales in the US, while effective alternatives like pseudoephedrine (PSE) made $542 million. Consumer education is crucial for choosing appropriate alternatives.
