Treats symptoms of the common cold, influenza, and allergic rhinitis including headache, body aches, mild pain, fever, runny nose, sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, and nasal congestion.

Acetaminophen inhibits pain and fever signals in the brain; chlorpheniramine blocks histamine receptors to reduce allergic-type symptoms; phenylephrine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to decrease swelling and congestion.

Do not combine with other products containing acetaminophen to avoid liver toxicity risk. Chlorpheniramine may cause drowsiness; avoid alcohol and operating machinery. Consult a healthcare provider if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, glaucoma, or prostate problems. Not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice.
