apnews.com/article/sudafed-decongestants-phenylephrine-pseudoephedrine-fda-0f140bafae9a500c5fba05fe764ecb66
Quick Glance: FDA advisers say popular nasal decongestant doesn't relieve congestion
- Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration say that the ingredient phenylephrine found in popular versions of Sudafed, Dayquil, and other medications does not relieve nasal congestion.
- The FDA assembled its external advisers to reevaluate phenylephrine as it became the main ingredient in over-the-counter decongestants after medicines with an older ingredient, pseudoephedrine, were moved behind pharmacy counters.
- If the FDA follows the panel's recommendations, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, and other drugmakers may have to remove their oral medications containing phenylephrine from store shelves.
- This would likely result in consumers switching to behind-the-counter pseudoephedrine products or phenylephrine-based nasal sprays and drops.

Quick Glance: FDA approves vaccine to protect newborns from RSV
- The Pfizer vaccine is given to mothers late in their pregnancies and provides protection to infants through their first six months of life.
- In a trial of over 7,000 pregnant people and their infants, the vaccine named Abrysvo reduced the risk of infants needing to see a doctor or be admitted to the hospital.
- ABRYSVO's approval as the first and only maternal immunization to help protect newborns immediately at birth through six months from RSV marks a significant milestone for the scientific community and for public health.
- However, the vaccine does not provide long-term protection and is 69% effective at preventing severe RSV disease and 51% effective at preventing a doctor's visit for RSV-related breathing problems by six months after birth.
