This product uses two active ingredients to relieve the symptoms of the
common cold. No medicine cures the common cold.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine used to help relieve symptoms of the
common cold and seasonal allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, and eye
and throat irritation. Antihistamines may cause irritability, dry mouth,
thickening of mucus secretions, blurred vision, and difficulty in
urination.
Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant for short-term use to help relieve
dry, hacking, nonproductive cough. Unless recommended by a physician,
dextromethorphan should not be used to treat persistent chronic cough
related to smoking, emphysema, or asthma, or a cough that produces
excessive secretions.
You may find that other measures increase the cough suppressant effect of
dextromethorphan. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid smoke, dust and other
atmospheric pollutants. Sucking on hard candy or lozenges may relieve
throat irritation or discomfort.
Do not take this medication more often or in greater dosages than
recommended on the package labelling. To do so increases the risk of side
effects.
Some people experience drowsiness with this medication. Do not drive or
operate dangerous machinery until you see how it affects you.
Tell your physician or pharmacist if you develop any persistent or
troublesome side effects while taking this medication.
Alcoholic beverages and some medications such as sleeping pills and
tranquilizers will cause increased sedation (and intoxication with
alcohol). Use extreme moderation if alcohol is consumed and do not take any
other medications without the advice of your physician or pharmacist.
Tell your physician if you plan to become pregnant or if you wish to
breast-feed your baby.
