Temporarily relieves common cold and flu symptoms including cough, sore throat, headache, minor aches and pains, fever, runny nose, sneezing, and sinus congestion.

Acetaminophen reduces fever and relieves pain; dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex in the brain; and doxylamine blocks histamine to reduce runny nose and sneezing while promoting drowsiness.

Avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants while taking this medication. Do not exceed recommended dose to prevent serious liver damage from acetaminophen. The antihistamine component causes drowsiness. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
