Another commonly used ingredient in cold and allergy medicines available today is phenylephrine (PE), which works as a vasoconstrictor, that is, it shrinks swollen nasal mucous membranes, thus reducing nasal congestion. PE, in eyedrop form, is also used to treat eye irritations caused by dust and allergies.


PE formulations are available in syrup, eyedrop form and nasal spray, the last being relatively more expensive.
