I love how modern humanity spent decades of research to develop pseudo-ephedrine sulfate to completely cure people of severe sinus swelling and congestion, but you prefer to remain steadfast in disregarding that effort and proudly post here complaining how long a duration you have needlessly suffered, even while knowing you could simply travel to the nearest drug store and easily purchase this from behind the counter with less effort than it took to post here about it.
I am truly proud of you, OP. Keep updating us on your status.
I wouldn’t say easily… I tried to buy 2 boxes last time and wasn’t allowed to so hopefully when I go to pharmacy today I can buy more and not get raided under suspicion that I amanufacturing drugs to provide relief for a dang cold.
Claritin is not pseudoephedrine. And while both drugs are helpful, neither will magically make your sinuses 100% clear if you have a bad cold. And actually, IDK if Claritin will help at all with a cold since it is an antihistamine. The stuffy nose from a cold isn’t a histamine response, right?
You need to edit/delete your comment, because it’s spreading misinformation and it sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about in the slightest.
Oh Ive got enough reading comprehension to take away the key detail that you’re a smug asshole who talks down to people with colds and then writes paragraph essay tantrums at anyone who dares talk back clarifying a mistake on your part . how did you even come to the conclusion this person didn’t know what psudo was or take anything similar? You know what- doesnt matter. Another day, another condensending ass added to the block list.
You build that echo chamber solid, no worries and apologies for the hurt feelings, but it sounds like you will eventually need to get over it or the world is going to roll you.
There’s no need to be so aggressive. And the important thing isn’t a mis communication over Claritin vs Claritin-D. The important point is that Loratadine will do fuck all for the common cold. So unless you are also having allergies, you’re taking a medication that isn’t going to help and overpaying. Just get stand alone pseudoephedrine.
2 large mucinexs. It was also for 2 people, so if I can’t get any this time, I’ll have to have my SO get them. It would have been nice though having some left from last time.
Mucinex has pseudo ephedrine? I thought it was only guaifenesin in there, which is actually and literally not even close to the same thing as pseudo ephedrine, like at all…
Mucinex-D is a combined product that contains both guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine. It also has the side effect of making you so thirsty that you think you might have rabbies.
No problem! The symtoms were light with it but beware of the thirst. They also have a max version that’s more hardcore. I couldn’t imagine what it’d do lol

How many pills did you attempt to buy? Because one of the Claritin boxes has enough doses to last two weeks.

Claritin is Loratadine
Claritin-D is Loratadine with added pseudoephedrine. People can buy all the non-D Claritin they want with no restrictions.

If anyone here had any reading comprehension, they would see that i specifically mentioned “behind the counter” not the fucking shelf

Sounds like I’m dumb, appreciate the info!

Fuck, nice. I should buy those next time instead of Claritin-D
Appreciate your clarification!

I can breath through my nose, its just hard.
Nice i hope you get well soon.
Nothing is stopping you from taking it anyways to help fully clear the sinus congestion.
