Sudafed PE is the placebo version.
Plain Sudafed still has pseudoephedrine — depending on your state you often have to ask to get it since it may be kept behind the counter.
Yep, “Sudafed PE” (phenylephrine) is the OTC replacement for regular Sudafed (Pseudoephedrine)...doesn’t work in my experience, I go for the real thing, but thanks to Meth Heads you have to show ID to buy the real thing (Pseudoephedrine).
