Sqad. Do You Recommend This ?

[Samuraisan]

Pseudoephedrine

[boxtops]

I'm not sqad, but I've taken it for congestion - it's in a lot of proprietary nasal medicine.

I use it for sinus trouble or when I can`t breathe due to a cold. It`s the original Sudafed (not Sudafed cold etc which have other ingredients). Not recommended if you have high blood pressure though as it`s a vasoconstrictor (constricts the blood vessels)

[Sqad]

It's Sudafed isn't it?

I am not a fan of oral systemic drugs to treat local conditions, but if i was, then i would have no objection to it's use.

Nasal sprays are equally as effective .

When I was small I was prescribed ephedrine for asthma attacks. Not sure what pseudoephedrine is.

[Sqad]

Jackdaw....both ephedrine AND pseudophedrine act on the bronchioles of the lungs opening them up....as in asthma........but ephedrine is more effective.

[Samuraisan]

I can't taste anything either
