User Comments about Sudafed PE
18 Jan 2012 This medicine gave me severe stomach cramps. I even took it with food, and the pain lasted for 2-3 days after I stopped taking the medicine. I would take a stuffy nose any day over the stomach pain that it caused.

26 Jun 2010 It worked very well. I was having bad ear aches and congestion. I started taking it after my doctor told me to try it. I had tried many different medications before it and it was the only one that made me feel better. The only problem I have with it is that it is very harsh on the stomach. It gave me really strong stomach aches and cramps.

20 Jun 2010 When I get the flu, I usually try a few over the counter medicines before going to see the doctor. I've tried sudafed in the past and it works ok, but it usually makes me really drowsy. If it makes me too drowsy, I will usually switch to another cold/flu medication.

23 Jul 2009 When I took the product with my Zyrtec it was amazing and it cleared up the congestion in my sinus cavites. Unfortunately, it did not work for me by itself, but I would recommend this product for others.
