The PE stands for Phenylephrine. Phenylephrine is a decongestant(relieves stuffy nose, and chest)
Can you take Sudafed PE with Allegra D?
The difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE is that Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine. While phenylephrine doesn't work quite as well as a decongestant, it is the most common decongestant ingredient in cold and sinus formulations, due to the fact that people were using pseudoephedrine to make the illegal drug methamphetamine.
It all depends on the main ingredient in the Sudafed you are purchasing. The regular Sudafed which contains pseudoephdrine is safe to take with Dayquil. The Sudafed PE, which is now being sold can not be taken with Dayquil since Dayquil contains the same decongestant, phenylephrine as Sudafed PE.
no.
yes
If the active ingredient in Allegra on the back of the bottle is the same as the active ingredient on the back of the bottle of sudafed pe, then you should NOT take them together.
Call a pharmacist to be sure.

One's best source of information about Sudafed PE is a local pharmacist. They can usually answer any questions one may have. If one asks, a good pharmacist will even have printed material to offer for free.

Plain End
Sudafed is a brand name, so it's hard to say, since there are different formulations. The active ingredient in plain old original Sudafed was pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, while the "active" ingredient in the new Sudafed PE is phenylephrine hydrochloride. (Note: in some locations the new stuff is marketed as simply Sudafed, so if you're looking for a decongestant that actually decongests better than a placebo does, check the ingredients list).
