It is harmless. But moving it to the inactive ingredients will still leave many of them without a decongestant and they’ll have to change all of their packaging/marketing. The other ingredients are usually for fever reduction or cough suppression. It would be a waste of their money to keep a useless ingredient.

I must be a placebo effect case lol. I use phenylephrine HCl and it seems to keep me clear usually. If I forget it I spend the entire day sniffling or completely clogged. Though it only works if I’m well hydrated, it will actually make it worse if not.

Very interesting. I wonder what their metric was for determining it doesn’t work. Anecdotally, I use phenylephrine HCl alone and find it keeps me clear most of the time, but not always. I also have to be well hydrated or it actually makes me even more stuffed. Maybe the inconsistency is why they reached this verdict? Maybe I’ve just been experiencing a placebo effect?
