FDA panel: Popular decongestant phenylephrine isn't effective |

The leading decongestant used by millions of Americans is likely no better than a dummy pill, according to government experts who reviewed the latest research on the long-questioned ingredient.

If the FDA follows through on the recommendations, several drugmakers could have to remove medications containing the ingredient from stores. 💊 What you should know. |
