Temporary relief of symptoms associated with the common cold, allergies, hay fever, and sinus infections including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, headache, body aches, sore throat, and chest congestion.

Acetaminophen reduces pain and fever; chlorpheniramine blocks histamine to relieve allergy symptoms; ephedrine constricts blood vessels in nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion; guaifenesin thins and loosens mucus in the airways to make breathing easier and promote clearance of chest congestion.
