Pseudoephedrine (the original main ingredient in Sudafed) is the absolute best stuff for sinuses.
The problem is that the Gobmint makes drug stores keep anything with Pseudoephedrine behind the counter now, you need a license to buy it (in MA they actually scan the license and put you in a database) and have to be 18+... all because meth labs *could* use it to make meth - so drug companies came out with an alternative that could be out in the aisles but is inferior.
I've been an allergy sufferer my whole life and the best product I've found for me is the Lortadine/Pseudoephedrine combo... and on the absolute worst days I go the benadry/pseudoephedrine mix.

No clue. I don't think pseudoephedrine is in Dimetapp, so it's probably for some other 'Big Brother looking out for us' type of reason.

Swimmer it is mostly the pill and it is a big pia for anyone who needs the stuff daily, not to mention they make you feel like a criminal when you buy the stuff

then again
your merely treating the symptoms
and NOT effecting a cure
the trick is to desensitize yourself to pollen
by eating the NON wind blown kind
Quote:
Pollen gathered by bees is superior to that obtained directly from flowering plants. The bees are extremely discriminate about selecting the best pollen from the millions of grains that are present. Of these, only two types are found, namely, anemophile pollen grains (which are not collected by bees, and produce allergic reactions) and entomophile pollen grains (which are collected by bees, and possess greater nutrient content).
~
In actuality, entomophile pollen grains have been employed in the successful treatment of airborn pollen allergies.
