Sudafed?

[Bri_1985]

So my Dr told me to take Sudafed for this head cold. However, they were adamant that I make sure I get the kind we have to sign for and not the OTC one. I was wondering why because I know the one we sign for has the stuff that people use to make meth but the OTC stuff does not. So what is the difference?

Ohhh... ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

The otc one is made with a different drug than the one you sign for. It's not the same so that's why its still on the shelf doesn't work to make meth. If you don't want to deal with that you can take the tylenol cold stuff also

Sudafed is like the best stuff ever to take. Its like my go to med whenever Im sick but I didnt realize it was safe to take while pregnant. The Dr did say if I wasnt feeling better by mon to call them. So maybe the usual "7 days guideline" is cut shorter.

Maybe generic is made differently... I was prescribed Sudafed when I got sick a couple weeks back but I didn't take it so idk how well it works

Yeah they said Robitussin too but recommended Sudafed.

My doc told me Robitussin DM only. I'd ask the pharmacist lol
