The key ingredient that underpins many nasal decongestants don't work as promised when taken orally.
Following an evaluation of clinical trial data, a panel of expert advisors for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agrees oral phenylephrine-based (PE) drugs are no better at reducing stuffiness than a placebo. While still safe to ingest, too much of the medicine is broken down before it gets to the bloodstream to have any real effect, they say.
The panel's recommendation, laid out in a briefing document published this week, is that the FDA reclassify oral PE decongestants so that they are not falsely labeled as effective.
This could force manufacturers to reformulate products like Advil Sinus Congestion & Pain, Sudafed PE Nasal Decongestant, and Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe, among many, many others.

I just kind of like the idea of Nancy and Jonathan not breaking up.
Like Nancy and Jonathan just decide they need to broaden their horizons.
And so this is Robin, Nancy’s girlfriend. And Nancy’s boyfriend is Jonathan. Oh and that’s Argyle, Jonathan’s boyfriend. And did we forget to mention that’s Steve, Robin’s platonic soulmate? And this is Eddie, Steve’s boyfriend.
And they just all love each other in their own little ways. And the kids have given up trying to keep any of it straight...

nighttime cold medicine is all about constantly pulling you towards being horizontal. it wants you to be horizontal so badly and it will plead and tug at you until you go horizontal and then it’s like “YES” and it wraps its arms around you and doesn’t let you go and now you can’t stop being horizontal. and why would you. give in to the horizontal. make the soft warm little ethereal lady that is nighttime cold medicine happy.

Random Youkai asked:
With all this sickness going around (plus covid still being a thing and probably always will be) we could use some of your mother-in-law's potion to cure it all lol.
「巫女」:: ”Hehe...maybe we could. If it was a panacea. But I think--it’s just a cold remedy. It probably couldn’t help against RSV, the flu, Monkey Pox, or Covid.
“Though, I take it back a little. It might help somewhat with the flu...But likely that’s it. I wish it could cure all of them! That’d be soo nice!”
