FDA Proposes Ending Use of Oral Phenylephrine as OTC Monograph Nasal Decongestant Active Ingredient After Extensive Review

— November 07, 2024 | FDA Press Release

Key Points:

The Food and Drug Administration proposed ending the use of a common ingredient in many popular over-the-counter cold and allergy medications because it doesn't actually relieve nasal congestion.

The FDA said the proposed order is not final yet, which means companies can still market over-the-counter drugs containing oral phenylephrine for now.

A final order will force pharmacies to clear shelves of hundreds of products containing oral forms of the ingredient, which is found in versions of drugs such as NyQuil, Benadryl, Sudafed and Mucinex.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is proposing to remove oral phenylephrine as an active ingredient that can be used in over-the-counter (OTC) monograph drug products for the temporary relief of nasal congestion after an agency review of the available data determined that oral phenylephrine is not effective for this use. For now, companies may continue to market OTC monograph drug products containing oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. This is a proposed order. Only a final order will affect what products can be marketed. The proposed order is based on effectiveness concerns, not on safety concerns.

Currently, oral phenylephrine is widely used as a nasal decongestant active ingredient in many OTC monograph drug products. It is important to note that some products only contain oral phenylephrine as a single, active ingredient. Others contain oral phenylephrine and another active ingredient (e.g., acetaminophen or dextromethorphan), and the presence of oral phenylephrine in these medicines does not affect how other active ingredients work to treat the symptoms for which they are intended.

“It is the FDA’s role to ensure that drugs are safe and effective,” said Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). “Based on our review of available data, and consistent with the advice of the advisory committee, we are taking this next step in the process to propose removing oral phenylephrine because it is not effective as a nasal decongestant.”

The agency conducted a comprehensive review of all available data on the safety and efficacy of oral phenylephrine, including the historical data that were used to support the determination made 30 years ago that oral phenylephrine was effective as a nasal decongestant, as well as newer clinical data on oral phenylephrine that have since become available.

Last fall, the FDA also held a Nonprescription Drug Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the ‘Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective’ (GRASE) status of oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. The committee discussed new data on the effectiveness of orally administered phenylephrine and unanimously concluded that the current scientific data do not support that the recommended dosage in the OTC cold, cough, allergy, bronchodilator and antiasthmatic drug products monograph for orally administered phenylephrine’s effectiveness as a nasal decongestant.

“Consumers should know that a range of safe and effective drugs and other treatments is available to temporarily relieve congestion symptoms due to allergies or a common cold,” said Theresa Michele, M.D., director of the Office of Nonprescription Drug Products in CDER. “Consumers can also talk to their doctor or pharmacist about ways to treat these symptoms.”

Because a variety of different drug products may be sold under the same brand name, consumers should always read the Drug Facts label to determine which ingredients are in a medication, and to be aware of important warnings and directions for use. Phenylephrine is also an ingredient in nasal sprays to treat congestion. The FDA’s action is only related to orally administered phenylephrine and not the nasal spray form.

The FDA is seeking public comments on this proposed order. Instructions on how to submit comments are found in the proposed order available on OTC Monographs@FDA. If, after considering the comments, the FDA concludes oral phenylephrine is not effective as a nasal decongestant, the FDA will issue a final order removing oral phenylephrine from the OTC monograph, and drug products thereafter could no longer contain oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. The FDA would provide manufacturers with appropriate time to either reformulate drugs containing oral phenylephrine or remove such drugs from the market.

Sudafed and other common nasal decongestants containing pseudoephedrine are on display behind the counter at Hospital Discount Pharmacy in Edmond, Okla., Jan. 11, 2005. On Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023 advisers to the Food and Drug Administration said that a different ingredient, phenylephrine, is ineffective at relieving nasal congestion. Drugmakers reformulated their products with phenylephrine after a 2006 law required pseudoephedrine-containing medications be sold from the behind pharmacy counter. (AP Photo, File)

For the prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in patients 15 years of age and older: One 10 mg tablet daily taken at least 2 hours prior to exercise. Wait 24 hours before taking another dose.

Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics: Asthma pathophysiology, including airway edema, bronchospasm, and altered cellular activity, has been correlated to the presence of cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) in the lungs. Mast cells and eosinophils release cysteinyl leukotrienes upon metabolism of arachidonic acid where they bind to specific receptors (CysLT). Montelukast binds with high affinity and selectively to the CysLT1 receptor where it inhibits physiologic actions of LTD4 without any agonist activity. After an oral dose, peak plasma levels are reached in 2-4 hours and the mean plasma half-life ranges between 2.7-5.5 hours. Metabolism occurs via cytochromes P450, 3A4, and 2C9. Food does not alter the availability of an oral dose.

Drug Interactions: Phenobarbital may increase metabolism of montelukast. May decrease the metabolism (via inhibition of P450 2C8) of paclitaxel, rosiglitazone, and repaglinide.

Contraindications/Precautions: Montelukast is not indicated for reversal of bronchospasm in acute asthmatic attacks, including status asthmaticus. Do not replace oral or inhaled steroids with montelukast without tapering steroid dose. Montelukast for inhalation should not be used as monotherapy for exercise induced asthma. Rare cases of systemic eosinophilia have been documented during therapy usually after the reduction or stopping of oral corticosteroids. Use with caution in nursing mothers. Pregnancy Category B.

Adverse Effects: Adverse effects closely resemble those found with placebo and include headache (18%), influenza (4%), cough (3%), abdominal pain (3%), dyspepsia (2%), and dizziness (2%). Rare cases of psychiatric disorders including agitation, aggressive behavior, abnormal dreams, depression, and suicidal thinking have been reported.

Patient Consultation:

This medication should be taken regularly even when the patient is asymptomatic.

This is not intended to treat asthmatic attacks and patients should have appropriate measures at hand to treat attacks.

Phenylketonurics should be aware that chewable tablets contain phenylalanine.

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible and return to normal dosing schedule.

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and children.

Contact a physician if the above side effects are severe or persistent.

Granules can be given either directly in the mouth or mixed with a spoonful of soft food (applesauce, carrots, rice, or ice cream).
