What is the difference between Sudafed and Sudafed pe?
The difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE is that Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine.

What is sudafedrine used for?
More properly pseudoephedrine, this was originally an isomer of ephedrine and a synthesis of an amphetimine analog. This means that it worked pretty well as a stimulant, apetite supressant, decongestant, and anti-emetic/anti-motion sickness med (especially when paired with scopolamine). It's most common use was as a decongestant. Pseudoepehedrine can be checmically broken down so that the result removes a couple of the more dangerous steps in methamphetamine HCL fabrication, so this medication in its original form is under a variety of (sometimes contradictory) federal and state controls. There is apparently a new formulation for Sudafed(tm) which does not include pseudoephedrine but instead uses the vasoconstrictor, naphazoline.
