- The FDA is proposing to remove oral phenylephrine from over-the-counter cold medications due to its ineffectiveness.
- A review indicated that phenylephrine does not work as a nasal decongestant in liquid or pill form, though it remains effective in nasal sprays.
- The proposal is not based on safety concerns, allowing companies time to reformulate their products.
- The Consumer Healthcare Products Association opposed the move, stressing the importance of consumer choice in self-care options.

- Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration say that the ingredient phenylephrine found in popular versions of Sudafed, Dayquil, and other medications does not relieve nasal congestion.
- The FDA assembled its external advisers to reevaluate phenylephrine as it became the main ingredient in over-the-counter decongestants after medicines with an older ingredient, pseudoephedrine, were moved behind pharmacy counters.
- If the FDA follows the panel's recommendations, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, and other drugmakers may have to remove their oral medications containing phenylephrine from store shelves.
- This would likely result in consumers switching to behind-the-counter pseudoephedrine products or phenylephrine-based nasal sprays and drops.
