Acetaminophen / pseudoephedrine "Ornex was the most effective over-the-counter medicine that I found for my frequent sinus headaches and pressure. Even though the pharmacist says the ingredients are pretty common, no other one they have recommended worked very well at all. I still have no clue as to why it was pulled from the market..."

Acetaminophen / pseudoephedrine "I first used Ornex caplets in the late 1980s, after the company nurse where I worked told me it would work better than plain Tylenol. She was right, and I continued to use it until my sinus headaches stopped occurring a couple of years later. A year ago last spring, the headaches returned, and when I went looking for Ornex, there was none to be found at any drugstore. Why did they take this great and simple product off the market?"

"This is my go-to cold and flu relief med. I mix it in a double shot glass of cold water and shoot it down after it dissolves. It treats headache, fever, sinus pain. Generic store brands work just as well. It's inexpensive, and I swear by it."

Acetaminophen / pseudoephedrine "I have used Ornex for as long as I can remember and am extremely disappointed that it was taken off the market. It helped almost immediately, and now I have to fish around and find something that will work as well. There was no dry mouth, and the effectiveness was great. Please put it back on the market."
