Temporarily relieves symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, or allergies including headache, minor aches and pains, fever, cough, runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose or throat, and nasal congestion

Aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex in the brain. Doxylamine blocks histamine receptors to reduce allergic symptoms and may cause drowsiness. Phenylephrine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion.

Not recommended for children or teenagers due to Reye's syndrome risk with aspirin. Should not be combined with alcohol or other sedatives. Patients with certain conditions (heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, glaucoma, urinary problems) should consult a healthcare provider before use. May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery.
