Re: Tina (# 25) 
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.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Noreen from NYC (# 5)
I think it's disgusting that mfg of SINUTAB discontinued it and even changed the label of other sinus decongestants to call them Sinutab even though these decongestants do not contain the original ingredients of Sinutab. I ordered 20 of the last Sinutabs in about 2008. Be relieved that the ingredients in Sinutab are being sold under a different label...EQUATE. Since equates sell several types of decongestants, you have to find these ingredients: acetaminophen + phenylephrine + HCL. These were the original ingredients of Sinutab. Also the caplet color for this is red and green. I buy them at ACE Hardware. They are manufactured by Lnk International. See this link for the new image of the caplet with ingredients of the former Sinutab. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Rapid-Release-Sinus-Congestion-Pain-Relief-Gel-Caps-48-Count/14122822

The original, working Sinutab was white with a pink layer on one side. It is the best sinus cure in the world. However, the sinutab contained codeine which is banned in the USA. Therefore you can't buy it here or import it. I lived in South Africa for many years and some people got hooked on it by taking it every day.
With the new USA laws about importing or being in possession of Opioids I don't think you can even buy it overseas and bring it back with you.

I emailed the company and they said it was a marketing decision. They would pass along my message. I cannot imagine why they would quit making it and selling it when so many people were using it and it helped. I don't understand these suitband tie bureaucrats.

I have been looking for Sinutab on and off for years whenever my sinus pain flares up. I use to use it quite a bit in my younger days. This was the ONLY pill that helped with the pain. I have tried many substitutes but unfortunately nothing has come close. If anyone knows anywhere I can get it, please share. Thanks!

I am in Canada and have not seen sinutab for a couple years. I am always looking for it when I get sick, and could use some right now! It just worked. Now I am stuck buying a million things that never really work...my guess is they were bought out by competitors so consumer's like us would have to continually pay out more money for products that don't quite do the job... Smart marketing I guess...
