Temporarily relieves symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, or hay fever including headache, minor aches and pains, fever, sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose or throat, and itchy, watery eyes.

Acetaminophen inhibits the production of prostaglandins in the brain, reducing pain perception and lowering fever. Dexbrompheniramine blocks histamine H1 receptors, preventing allergic responses like sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal itching.

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 liver disease, glaucoma, enlarged prostate, or are pregnant/nursing. Not recommended for children under 6 without medical advice.
