Nexafed® is the only meth-resistant pseudoephedrine product that is just as fast and effective as other commonly used pseudoephedrine products, such as Sudafed®, using FDA bioequivalence testing standards.2 No other meth-resistant products meet these standards. Nexafed is a traditional, solid-dose white tablet that will not melt or deform if exposed to warm temperatures.
Methamphetamine can be produced relatively easily by combining household chemical ingredients with common over-the-counter cold medicines, such as pseudoephedrine. Since pseudoephedrine is an active ingredient found in many cold and allergy medicines available at local pharmacies, meth cooks have easy access to this key component needed to make methamphetamine.
Nexafed is available as an immediate-release oral tablet.
Nexafed® is the only meth-resistant pseudoephedrine product that has demonstrated, using FDA testing standards, therapeutic equivalence to Sudafed®.1 No other meth-resistant product can make this claim1. Nexafed is a traditional, solid-dose white tablet.
Nexafed utilizes MainPointe’s Impede® technology, a unique polymer matrix, which incorporates inactive ingredients to significantly disrupt the extraction and conversion of pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine. If abusers try to dissolve Nexafed to extract the pseudoephedrine to make methamphetamine, the polymers will form a thick gel to block that extraction.1
Impede® is a combination of safe ingredients that significantly disrupt the extraction and conversion of pseudoephedrine into the dangerous illegal drug methamphetamine, commonly known as meth. This reduction in yield makes Nexafed unsuitable for meth cooks, who will shop elsewhere for the products they prefer. In some communities where pharmacies have replaced older single ingredient […]
Nexafed temporarily relieves nasal congestion due to the common cold, hay fever, or other upper respiratory allergies. Nexafed also helps to decongest sinus openings and passages to temporarily relieve sinus congestion and pressure, without causing drowsiness.
While Nexafed provides powerful relief from congestion due to colds and allergies with pseudoephedrine (PSE), new Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain adds acetaminophen to relieve pain and fever associated with colds and sinus headaches. Both products offer non-drowsy relief and are formulated with Impede® technology to disrupt conversion of PSE to methamphetamine.
