Temporary relief of cough, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose/throat associated with allergies, colds, or upper respiratory infections.

Brompheniramine blocks histamine to reduce allergic symptoms; dihydrocodeine suppresses the cough reflex in the brain; pseudoephedrine constricts blood vessels in nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion.

Contains an opioid (dihydrocodeine) with risk of dependence, sedation, and respiratory depression. May cause drowsiness; avoid alcohol and operating machinery. Pseudoephedrine may increase blood pressure and heart rate. Not recommended for children, elderly, or those with certain conditions without medical supervision. Some regions have purchase restrictions on pseudoephedrine-containing products.
