Also from the other side, someone reckons there's a problem with Nitrox and Sudafed, that's news to me, anyone else heard that before?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nitrox courses make the point that it is very unwise to use sudafed when diving on nitrox because of effects of elevated ppO2 on the effects of the drug.
OK.
I keep a few sudafed tablets in my dive kit,as do many experienced divers I know,and we all know what the book says about using decongestants and we do it anyway.For air dives,nearly all above 20m.
With the increased risk when on Nitrox I'm not willing to keep the sudafed option in my kit.
Is there an alternative?
If so what is it;if not I'd be grateful for a clear statement from a real-world knowledgable contrbutor.
Thank you.
Kevyn.
