So many folks saying "phenylephrine is useless". The oral formulation, yes, precisely because not enough of the drug actually makes it to your nasal passages.

So just take a nasal spray. I get it, all the pills that include it should have it removed, but I don't understand why people just wouldn't use the nasal spray. Personally I don't like decongestant drugs at all because I always feel like I get a stronger "rebound", and a netty pot makes me feel considerably better in any case.
