What do you think the negative effects of taking the ocational prescribed dosage of suddafeds could be when you are on a dive say anywere from 100ft to 400ft.

I realize that everything you have allready discribe could possible happen even on the surface.

Do you think this possability increases at depth

Do you think it is a safe source of pseudoephedrine for diving

I am not an expert in diving medicine. I am board certified in Internal Medicine and in Allergy and Clinical Immunology. My practice is limited to the latter. As such, I use alot of pseudoephedrine at sea level or slightly above (I live in Richmond), but have no experience observing it's effects at an underwater depth of 100-400 ft. I am a novice diver, having completed only 12 rec dives since my OWC.

DAN has a great article which may be helpful for you:
