oral phenylephrine:

“three large, carefully designed studies were conducted—two by Merck for the treatment of seasonal allergies and one by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of the common cold. All three found no significant difference between phenylephrine and a placebo.”

    I’ve used this stuff and it worked for me, but yeah, the real stuff (pseudophedrine) is better. Now if they could make pseudophedrine a regular OTC drug again. Nobody really uses it for Breaking Bad shenanigans, I’d hope.

      You underestimate the power of drugs

      People definitely would use it for breaking bad shenanigans like they did before

        I thought they switched to hijacking railroad tank cars, after seeing the show. You need a ridiculous amount of tablets (or cough syrup or whatever) to make drugs, and the druggies have supposedly switched to more industrial-scale methods by now.

      I think there should be a Breaking Bad sequel where the main character buys meth and turns it back into cold medication.
