FDA proposes banning cold and allergy meds with phenylephrine, citing effectiveness concerns.

The FDA has proposed banning over-the-counter cold and allergy medications containing phenylephrine, such as Nyquil, Sudafed, Benadryl, and Mucinex, due to concerns about their effectiveness. Pharmacies are already removing these products from shelves. Alternatives include nasal sprays with oxymetazoline, pseudoephedrine-based products, and oral antihistamines like Zyrtec, Allegra, and Claritin.
