| 818958 | 2009-10-10 04:26:00 | What cold and flu tablets work for you? With pseudoephedrine or without pseudoephedrine? pseudoephedrine may become a class b2 prescription only drug. i wonder what happens if a son used his mum's pseudoephedrine cold and flu tablets, would he be breaking the law? |

| 818959 | 2009-10-10 04:30:00 | I tried some of the non for sinus a year ago . May as well have taken sugar tablets for what use they were. Looks like national seems to think that after 9 years of nanny state under labor that they can do the same and everyone will roll over and except it. Meanwhile the Chinese exporters will be rubbing their hands with glee as they corner the market.. | paulw (1826) | ||

"An expert in the causes of allergies and airways disease, and the treatment of asthma, Prof Black said today that a nasal spray, such as xylometazoline, sold as Otrivine or Drixine, could work in a similar way. "Xylometazoline spray is an effective alternative to pseudoephedrine"." news.google.com s%2Fcold-remedies-don039t-need-pre-cursor-chemical-for-p039-prof-says%2F11%2F11540 |

| 818963 | 2009-10-10 06:06:00 | Pseudoephedrine helps to vasoconstrict your blood vessels, which means decreased inflammation and oedema (mucus production). It's a matter of how we use it, really. If a customer comes in complaining of cold and flu, pharmacists will generally ask a range of questions first before recommending a particular cold remedy. Cheers :) |

| 818965 | 2009-10-10 20:53:00 | Scotch or Irish Whisky is the best antidote to the common cold taken in the required dosage, unfortunately bourbon (which is an inferior imitation and should not be confused with the real thing) has been found not to work in clinical trials. The trials were conducted using white lab rats the ones given bourbon actually got sicker while those given the placebo tap water got well. |

| 818966 | 2009-10-10 23:33:00 | So Irish and Scotch Whisky are recommended for rats? I will bear that it mind should the Pied Piper fail to make his appointed rounds. I was going to try some of that placebo stuff, but the instructions seem a little ambiguous as to where it should be administered. |

| 818967 | 2009-10-10 23:59:00 | The real pseudoephedrine works best. Mind you it always confuses me that pseudoephedrine is the real stuff, even though it is named as if it's 'fake (pseudo (dictionary.reference.com)) ephedrine'.... Surely ephedrine would be even more effective??? |
