Decongestants - Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride
But to recap
Because a drug works in the same way does not mean it will have the same side affects, But you make your own choices in a free (ish) world. Also drugs are tested on the surface and not while the test subject is breathing funny gas at pressure. I use Vicks sinex
