How Effective Is Psuedoephedrine For Nasal Congestion?
I suffer from allergies that often lead to sever nasal congestion when I lay down to sleep. I've started taking Psuedoephedrine before I go to bed so I can breath. If I start doing this daily, would it be bad for my health? I've been doing it now for about 3 weeks and I haven't seen or felt any adverse effects.
