Malibumal.... It says right on the Sudafed box "Not to be taken if patient uses an MAO inhibitor or has Parkinson's Disease." (paraphrasing) I'd take this type of over-the-counter drug upon occasion over the years without EVER looking at the warnings that are always listed (in type-size SO tiny that ya can't read 'em even WITH a magnifying glass!) <groan>. I had my first cold in years this past winter and imagine my surprise to see THAT warning on the box of Sudafed AND the bottle of Nyquil that my daughter had brought me. That caused me to spend 45 minutes (with magnifying glass in hand) <rueful grin>, while in the drug store reading warning labels on OTC cold meds and antihistamines. WHOA!! BIG surprise!!! They ALL have that same warning! Soooo... do look a the warnings on over-the-counter drugs before ya just up and take one of them meds, 'cause ya may put your life in jeopardy if ya don't!
