Sudafed PE Maximum Strength Congestion & Sinus Pressure Relief Tablets - 36ct

It has been reformulated and the new active ingredient is trash. Wasted $14. Target should not sell this. False advertising. It has changed since 2024. Get the stuff you have to give ID for.

This stuff doesnt work. Cant believe they sell this as a decongestant when they removed the actual drug that does that. Instead they put in phenylephrine which is basically a placebo. The stuff that actually works like its supposed to is pseudoephedrine which they had to remove from the shelves as it is used to make meth. Now to get the good stuff you have to get it behind the pharmacy counter and provide Drivers License info etc or get it Rx by a doctor. But it is well worth it.

Red and two yellow dyes. And Shellac!?! Seriously? Etc etc etc etc in a long unnecessary list. It reminds me of Metamucil filled with sugar and dye. Just buy psyllium husks! Please stop doing this to us. Other than the poison, it is my only go to for relief. I like the 4 hour.

Why would the company pack 2 pills together if you’re only suppose to take 1 every 4 hrs

Didn’t do anything for my congestion and gave me heart palpitations.

I'm no longer taking your product, Sudafed. The reason, I can't open the poorly designed pkg. I really liked it because it really works good for me. I'm 65. There's a reason the the pharmacy sends me easy to open prescription containers, my fingers aren't as dexterous. If your reasoning is to make it hard for illicit drug use that is ridiculous because druggies just smash the pills anyway. I love your product but I'm but tired of saying bad words trying to open. Thank you for hearing me out.

Doesn’t even work, gave me a UTI!!!!!

I struggle with terrible fall and winter allergies. IMO - I have a feeling many people who give this negative reviews are taking the PE or version in allergy med aisle and not taking the Pseudophedrine which is behind the pharmacy counter and you must have license or ID. The Real Sudafed works within 15-30 minutes every time. The one you grab yourself off the shelf and don’t show ID, that version has been determined to be equivalent to a sugar pill. I believe selling both an incredible version and the phenyl- whatever is even confusing in trying to sound similar. Making the two are confusing and leading to negative reviews of your excellently working pseudoephedrine. No ID NEEDED! No NEED TO BUY! It’s a little more money, but well worth the fact it actually works, instead of saving a few dollars, but feeling not at all better. Except you got a couple dollars which you’re too ill to spend.

I know they say it’s ineffective for most people, I must not be most people because it really does work better than the original version for me. How do we prevent this being discontinued?

Do your research! Per the FDA, this DOES NOT WORK. It’s a placebo! All these years of wasting my money. Unbelievable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Please never stop making this product. I have been using it me entire life and it helps.

I absolutely stand by Sudafed. I take 10 mg not in combo with anything else. It absolutely works. I have used it for years. I have read many favorable reviews on it. It would be a shame if the FDA pulls it off the shelves.

It's never worked for me. just googled why and the US FDA concluded it's a PLACEBO. I've wasted $100s for no reason. "During the two-day meeting, FDA scientists presented the results of five studies conducted over the past two decades on the effectiveness of oral phenylephrine. All the studies concluded that the decongestant was no more effective than a placebo.12 Sept 2023"

Amazing fantastic relief after I tried everything else!!

This poduct didn't work at all! Save your money, and get Dristan, or a more noteable product.

Nothing is as good as the Sudafed little red pill for sinus issues. I recommend them to everybody.

My husband rarely gets sick and hates taking medicine. He tried some other name brands which seemed to help reduce fever but nothing for sinus. Even though it says it helps. My mom had recommended Sudafed PE, this standard one. Bam, within a few hours, his sinus pressure was gone. I guess some people respond better to certain meds vs other people. If you aren't responding well to the other kinds of meds, try this one!

I have bought Sudafed in the past, then had to switch when it was temporarily not made. either i forgot or the packaging is different than what i remember, because it is very hard for me to get the pills out of the wrapper. With the store brand CVS....all i have to do is push the pill out from the back and it comes right out. Sudafed, i have to fold a section of the packaging and then peel away the film. I cannot do this! When i am done with these i will go back to CVS!

Not effective going to cvs and getting the real stuff

I find Sudafed very effective. However the caffeine content does keep me awake. I know you sell the night tablets, but these come boxed with day ones. I really wish you’d sell boxes of night tablets separately. I would certainly buy them!
