Sinutab - Where Is It? (Page 3)

I have been trying to find Sinutab, have they quit making it? Why? It was the best allergy relief I found.

Yes, I was disgusted when Sinutab was discontinued. Now the decongestant with the true, original Sinutab ingredients is being sold by CVS under the label "Non-Drowsy SINUS PAIN & CONGESTION." the label states ingredients are: "PHENYLEPHRINE HCL", the true ingredients of Sinutab. The box of Phenyephrine HCL shows a red color and a green heart on the lower right corner and light blue caplets. Years ago, I contacted Canada Pharmacy & they confirmed that they continued to sell Sinutab. They also told me that Sudafed, the bad decongestant, was banned in Europe and Canada, but Sinutab was popular. Of course big pharma in this country does not care that they sell crap, like Sudafed, to Americans. When Sinutab was being eliminated, I bought 20 boxes & I got another 20 boxes of a decongestant with Sinutab ingredients. When sinutab was sold under the Equate label, I bought some boxes, but it too was being eliminated and hard to find. Also Big pharma stopped selling Sinutab to Canada & Europe. Who knows what other countries big pharma stopped selling Sinutab to. My guess is that the pressure to eliminate a popular decongestant like Sinutab may come from Sudafed. Take note, GOP capitalists, how badly Big Pharma capitalism treats American citizens! Their standard of providing medical treatment for Americans is unfettered greed. On the other hand, when a treatment, like Sinutab is popular & desired, Socialist countries respond by ensuring their citizens receive what they really want. The moral of the story is that capitalism can be as much tyrannical as communism, taking choices away from people.

Sudaplus is Johnson & Johnson. Not the same product at all.

When you look for a decongestant that works like Sinutab, look instead for PHENYLEPHRINE HCL which is the main ingredient in the former Sinutab decongestant. The label "Sinutab" now either does not exist, or if the label is used, it does NOT contain the original ingredient of phenylephrine HCL that Sinutab had. Always look for PHENYLEPHRINE HCL in the decongestant. Under the label Sinutab, big pharma includes ingredients like ephedrine...really bad stuff that was banned in Europe. This morning I took a decongestant with former Sinutab ingredient, Phenylephrine HCL - sold by CVS under the label "Sinus PE" and the label says "pseudoephedrine free". You can find the true Sinutab ingredient at CVS, Walmart & other places.

You'll find the original Sinutab ingredient, PHENYLEPHRINE HCL, in other decongestants under a different label. CVS sells the decongestant under the label Sinus PE, which contains Phenylephrine HCL and says "pseudoephedrine free". Walmart sells the same decongestant under the Equate label. Ephedrine is banned in Europe and is bad stuff. It appears that the makers of decongestants with ephedrine forced the makers of Sinutab to remove their popular and effective decongestant out of the market. And then the makers of the ephedra crap put the successful label of Sinutab onto their product in an attempt to fool the public that their product was Sinutab. Their approach was false, misleading and proved their product was useless.

Sinutab's main ingredient was Phenylephrine HCL and acetaminophen. It has no PE also known as "pseudoephedrine". Today, you can get a decongestant with Sinutab's ingredients but without the label. So look for the ingredients and not the label. CVS sells Sinus PE, which refers to "Phenylephrine" with HCL and this decongestant says "pseudoephedrine free". This could be confusing because PE refers to two different meaning. Look at the label that says PE free and that contains phenylephrine HCL I have copies of the original Sinutab label with ingredients and the current labels of decongestants with their labels showing the original Sinutab ingredients. Unfortunately unable to upload them here.
