While it wasn't a surprise to me, I noticed just this past winter while fighting a cold--it wasn't until I purchased the Mucinex-D--with pseudoephedrine, that I really enjoyed some relief from my congestive symptoms. The pseudoephedrine replacements don't work nearly as well.

Under Obamacare...if we can get prescriptions for future infections at all, we'll be taking the equivalent of penicillan and amoxicillan...the kinds of antibiotics one must take for 10 days' worth of treatment.

My last cold was pretty nasty and my mom told me to try Mucinex. When I went to the store to get it, I could only find the stuff for coughs. I tried looking for the kind for cold/sinus and couldn’t find it anywhere. It wasn’t until later that I found out it had pseudoephedrine in it. It is so frustrating that Oregon prevents me from buying OTC medicines that will help me feel better.

HA....when I had to go to urgent care recently for a terrible sinus/throat cold/cough...the doc gave me a prescrip for sudafed AND and antibiotic (It is very rare that sinus infections need antibiotics)....well...I knew I wouldn’t be needing the antibiotic....but got the prescrip anyway....my husband asks WHY? HA...for the future!
