Temporarily relieves nasal congestion, sinus congestion and pressure, headache, minor aches and pains, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy/watery eyes due to common cold, hay fever, or other upper respiratory allergies.

Acetaminophen reduces fever and pain; chlorpheniramine blocks histamine to reduce allergic symptoms like sneezing and itching; phenylpropanolamine constricts blood vessels in nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion.

May cause drowsiness; avoid alcohol and operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Do not use with other acetaminophen products to avoid overdose. Consult a healthcare provider if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or difficulty urinating. Not recommended for use in children under 6 years of age without medical advice.
