Flop Product
Figure [1]: The deceptive packaging of Sudafed PE ...

Michael As a counterpart to the top product, today we are also introducing a junk product: the sinus relief drug "Sudafed PE." "Sudafed" is the standard medicine in America for clogged sinuses, and the stuff is really good; I once used it to clear up a sinus infection so I could go on a diving course in Australia. Recently, I had a cold and wanted to buy Sudafed at the drugstore when I noticed "Sudafed PE." It supposedly contains the same active ingredient, just in the form of a palate adhesive strip, as previously mentioned (Rundbrief 03/2003).

Figure [2]: ... and the truth about Sudafed PE comes to light.

But what did I have to find out! Upon opening the package, it turned out that 90% of the box's contents consisted of air! And in terms of effectiveness, I would say that this stuff is inferior to the real Sudafed. Total junk and rubbish!

Greetings from the land of the capital crooks:

Angelika & Michael
