Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain Tablets information
What is Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain and what is it used for?
If you are suffering from the symptoms of cold and flu then you need quick and effective relief. Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain combines ibuprofen (200mg) and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (30mg) to treat the symptoms associated with cold and flu such as congestion, fever, blocked nose, catarrh, and general aches and pains. Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain allows you to seize back control and get on with your day symptom-free.
Sudafed Sinus Pressure and Pain tablets can be taken by adults and children over the age of 15 years and are manufactured by McNeil Products. They are available to purchase online in boxes of 24 tablets.
How does Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain work?
Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain Tablets contains two active ingredients, Ibuprofen and Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride. Ibuprofen can relieve mild pain and reduce inflammation and fever. Ibuprofen blocks an enzyme in your body known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX). This enzyme creates prostaglandins when you are injured, causing you feelings of pain, swelling and inflammation. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, their effects are also reduced. Fever is associated with increased prostaglandin levels in the brain; Ibuprofen reduces these levels, lowering your fever.
Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that works by contracting the blood vessels located in your nasal passage and sinuses, making them narrower. This means less blood will flow into these areas, making you feel less congested and decreasing the rate at which mucus is produced.
Alternatives to Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain
Sudafed Sinus Pressure and Pain tablets offer combined relief from pain and congestion. There are a variety of cold and flu treatments that can be taken that are aimed at relieving either pain or congestion separately that are also very effective. These alternative treatments include:
