Original Note:
The FDA has said this of oral medications containing phenylephrine, because the active ingredient is metabolised in the guts, and very little of it ever reaches the nose. Nasal sprays, injections, and topical application of phenylephrine are effective uses of the drug. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/12/decongestant-phenylephrine-ineffective.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylephrine
