Do not use this information to diagnose yourself or to replace a physician's advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any medication. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately.

Temporarily relieves symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, or seasonal allergies including nasal congestion, sinus congestion, headache, minor aches and pains, fever, sneezing, runny nose, and chest congestion.

Each ingredient targets different symptoms: acetaminophen inhibits pain and fever signals in the nervous system; chlorpheniramine blocks histamine receptors to reduce allergic symptoms; guaifenesin thins and loosens mucus in the airways; and phenylpropanolamine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion.

May cause drowsiness; avoid operating machinery or driving until you know how this medication affects you. Do not use with other products containing acetaminophen as this may lead to liver damage. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, diabetes, glaucoma, or urinary problems. Not recommended for children without medical advice.
