CVS Takes Action on Cough Products With Phenylephrine Amid FDA Scrutiny
October 19, 2023
CVS Health has announced the removal of specific oral cough and cold products featuring phenylephrine as the sole active ingredient from its shelves. This decision comes after a panel of U.S. health regulators expressed reservations about the effectiveness of over-the-counter medicines containing phenylephrine, a common component in cold and cough syrups. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to remove phenylephrine from the list of approved ingredients for over-the-counter use, they plan to gather public opinions before reaching a decision.
