[QUOTE=revchuck;17583641]Occasionally I get bad sinus headaches, and pseudoephedrine works best to relieve the pressure. WADA has it as a banned stimulant above a specific level:

It is no restriction out of competition.

Additional information from WADA that I found on Globaldro.com https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws....ne_2010_EN.pdf

The threshold level has been established based on the intake of therapeutic doses of PSE, defined as a maximum daily dose of 240mg PSE taken either as:
i) four (4) daily administrations (one every 4-6 hours) of a 60mg pill
(or 2 x 30mg pills), or
ii) two (2) daily administrations (one every 12 hours) of a 120mg pill
(extended release), or
iii) one (1) daily administration of a 240mg pill (extended release).


In line with this dosing regimen, the intake, for example, of a single daily dose of 3 x 60mg pills constitutes a supra therapeutic administration that may lead to an Adverse Analytical Finding.
