Sure seems there’s a lot of fuss over this. Pretty sure it’s just the cold/flu medicines with phenylephrine they’re pulling off the shelf. There are other options still available. Personally, I never thought this stuff worked and only spent money on it one time. That was enough for me.

They said HCQ and IVM didn't work either. S owe are to believe them on this sudafed thing... You see how they totally fucked up everything its like we have to start over and lab test every single thing to know if it works or not.

No doubt they have. In this particular instance I do think it is only the medicines with phenylephrine in it, which is what has been abundantly available. IMO it does not work as a decongestant and told my doctor this years ago. Thought it was a waste of money. The original Sudafed, decongestant with pseudoephedrine, is still available but due to meth heads, it is kept behind the counter. I could be wrong but this is my understanding.
