Temporarily relieves symptoms associated with the common cold, flu, or allergies including nasal congestion, sinus congestion, headache, minor aches and pains, and fever.

Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes to reduce the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing pain, fever, and inflammation. Phenylephrine is an alpha-adrenergic agonist that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion.

Not recommended for children or teenagers due to Reye's syndrome risk. Should be avoided by those with bleeding disorders, recent surgery, or who are taking blood thinners. Do not use with other aspirin or NSAID products. Consult a healthcare provider if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
