Can some one tell me what Sudafed is classed as? I don't know where it fits in the DAME handbook.

I'm taking cold and flu tablets for a sore throat (typical winter illness) and I'll probably have to cancel a lesson on Monday unless I feel much better, but under the new regime, I'm not sure I can even present myself at the airport and maybe help in the hangar.

I'm also concerned about the rationale for the testing. Are they testing for actual impairment or are they testing for illegal drug use?

My enthusiasm for holding a PPL is gradually being whittled away by bureaucrats. I'm already up for a new ASIC as well.
