Ahem.... here we go again.
That guy on Twitter is wrong. Actually he's right. The UK version of Sudafed does contain different ingredients. He even posted a picture of the box. Problem is.... the U.K. version has phenylephrine, which is also a nasal decongestant.... but its not abused.
from wiki once again:
Phenylephrine is a medication primarily used as a decongestant, to dilate the pupil, to increase blood pressure, and to relieve hemorrhoids.[2][3] While marketed as a decongestant, taken by mouth at recommended doses it is of unclear benefit for hay fever.[2] It can be taken by mouth, given by injection into a vein or muscle, or applied to the skin.[2]
Common side effects when taken by mouth or injected include nausea, headache, and anxiety.[2] Use on hemorrhoids is generally well tolerated.[2] Severe side effects may include a slow heart rate, intestinal ischemia, chest pain, kidney failure, and tissue death at the site of injection.[2][3] It is unclear if use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is safe.[2] Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor activator which results in the constriction of both arteries and veins.[2]
Phenylephrine was patented in 1927 and came into medical use in 1938.[4] It is available as a generic medication.[3] In the United Kingdom the injectable formulation costs the NHS £4 per vial.[3] Unlike pseudoephedrine, abuse of phenylephrine is very uncommon.[5]
Where do you dig this stuff up H4?
Sudafed UK:

So he sends his kids all the way to the UK to buy the stuff that doesn't work. Think they take the family jet? Get those 4 boxes thru customs easier that way. Stuff em down Tiffany's bra and they'll never know.
Edit: lmao... as I type this H4M is furiously digging across the internet to prove my rebuttal to the idiots on Twitter wrong. His fingers are flying.
Good catch, meant to google the differences of phenylephrine vs pseudo as i read the active ingredients.

Although pseudo is available in the UK, the green boxes appear to be the "benign" variety:

I took the guy to mean the kids "stock up" on the "UK stuff" when going on trips, not it being a cost effective way of getting his fix. In any case, we can put this accusation in the debunked category, at least with the boxes as photographed.
Maybe Ivanka is fooling him into quitting with placebos
Maybe they're just fools and bought the wrong stuff, Maybe someone in the family really has a stuffy nose, is responsible, and took advantage of the no-restriction sale of the non-stimulant phenylephrine stuff, although available in the US w/o much hassle.I still spot two fake oscars
