Rite Aid will continue to keep products with phenylephrine on their shelves, at least for now, a spokesperson tells ABC.
"Rite Aid follows guidance from regulatory agencies, including the FDA, and is committed to providing convenient access to safe, approved products to address our customers' healthcare needs," Rite Aid said in a statement. "Our pharmacists are available to provide guidance to customers on over-the-counter solutions for alleviating symptoms associated with colds and other illnesses.
"We are removing certain oral cough and cold products that contain phenylephrine as the only active ingredient from CVS Pharmacy stores," a CVS spokesperson told CNN in a statement on Thursday. Last month, the advisory committee voted no on the specific question: "Do the current scientific data that were presented support that the monograph dosage of orally administered phenylephrine is effective as a nasal decongestant."
