FDA panel declares decongestant phenylephrine ineffective

From a similar article [1]:

> But an FDA panel said after a two-day review that the oral decongestant ‘is not effective’ at standard or even high doses compared to a placebo.

> Their ruling is not binding but strongly suggests the agency could soon heed their advice and pull its approval, forcing companies to pull or reformulate their products.

Absolutely not surprising.
