Temporarily relieves symptoms of the common cold, flu, hay fever, and other upper respiratory allergies including fever, headache, minor aches and pains, cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation, nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes.

Acetaminophen reduces fever and relieves pain. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex in the brain. Phenylephrine shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce congestion. Pyrilamine blocks histamine to relieve allergic symptoms like sneezing and runny nose.

Do not use with other products containing acetaminophen. Avoid alcohol. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, diabetes, glaucoma, or breathing problems. Do not use if taking an MAOI or within 14 days of stopping one. May cause drowsiness.
