  1. I just heard the news... So what does this mean for Advil Cold and Sinus that sports a whopping 60mg
    of pure Ephedrine HCL?... Or what about the Two-Ways that are so popular with the trucker crowd?...

    Illegal products!!!

    Take them back to the store where purchased and get a full refund.

    guess they'll have to go back to coke.

    I think the biggest worry is with the large quantities of ephedra contained in those powders. As a
    "natural" herbal supplement, it just wasn't regulated for dosage. I'm just wondering why the DEA
    didn't crack down on ephedra like they did psuedoephedrine based cold/allergy remedies. Couldn't it
    theoretically be used to make methamphetamines?

    The Advil product has 60 mg of **pseudoephedrine** HCl. I think those supplements are the equivalent
    of several (two-tablet) doses of Sudafed. I remember reading stories about hockey players popping
    Sudafed tablets as stimulants. I'm just wondering when Sudafed popping will be the big thing with
    athletes or dieters.
