Temporarily relieves symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, or hay fever including nasal congestion, sinus congestion and pressure, headache, minor body aches and pains, fever, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy throat.

Acetaminophen reduces fever and relieves minor aches and pains. Doxylamine, an antihistamine, blocks histamine to reduce sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes. Pseudoephedrine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion.

May cause drowsiness; avoid alcohol and operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Do not use if you have certain conditions including severe hypertension, coronary artery disease, or are taking MAO inhibitors. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have diabetes, glaucoma, thyroid disorders, or are pregnant/nursing. Do not exceed recommended doses.
