Representatives for the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, a group that represents OTC drug manufacturers, did not offer any new evidence to counter the FDA’s claims that the drug is ineffective during their presentation Monday.

Lol, thinking that the naturopathic shit isnt sitting on the same shelves with almost identical packaging to real medicine.
It’s because the DEA restricted pseudoephedrine, which does work. Duck the war on drugs
Yes, I NEED this shit like 2-3 months of the year due to a severe winter cedar allergy. I can barely function without a strong decongestant and having to show my ID and jump through hoops at the pharmacy to get it instead of just grabbing some off a shelf is so frustrating.
