What do pseudoephedrine pills look like?

5 Oct 2011

This is not psuedoephedrine, it is phenylephrine 10mg. Phenylephrine is another kind of decongestant. You can find it on the shelves as Sudafed PE. True Sudafed, which is pseudoephedrine, you have to ask for at the pharmacy counter because quantities are controlled. Anything you buy of the shelf is phenylephrine which doesnt have any limitations. Many products that people used to buy off the shelf have been reformulated to contain phenylepherine, even Nyquil, so that they can keep it on the shelf. For the "real" versions with pseudoephedrine, you have to ask for them at the pharmacy counter.
