Information Leaflet

Description

Sudafed Mucus Relief Triple Action Cold & Flu Tablets help to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu. They go to work on headaches, aches and pains, blocked nose, sore throat, chills and chesty coughs. With the active ingredients guaifenesin, which helps to loosen the mucus in your chest and phenylephrine, to help reduce swelling in the nasal passages these tablets will help you breathe easier, while paracetamol will relieve pain and help reduce your temperature.

What is congestion?

Congestion is a common symptom of a cold or the flu. It makes your nose feel blocked and runny, making it more difficult for you to breathe and disrupting your sense of smell. Congestion is caused by swelling of the blood vessels in your nasal passages, reducing the amount of space in your nose, making it easier for mucus to build up and block your airways. When you’re congested, you may also experience a headache as the blockage in your nose puts pressure on your sinuses. Congestion will usually pass by itself, but a decongestant can help to reduce the swelling in your nose to help you breathe easy.

How will Sudafed Mucus Relief Triple Action Cold & Flu ease my congestion?

Sudafed Mucus Relief tablets contain three active ingredients which work together to relieve congestion and other cold and flu symptoms. The first is 250mg of paracetamol, a popular pain relief medication which can also help to bring down a high temperature. The second is 100mg of guaifenesin, an expectorant which helps to loosen phlegm, making it easier to cough up so you can clear your airways. The final ingredient is 5mg of phenylephrine, a decongestant which helps to reduce the swelling in your nasal passages, making it easier for you to breathe and easing congestion.
