Buy Sudafed Congestion & Headache Relief Day & Night 

Sudafed Congestion & Headache Relief Day & Night is the perfect way to fight your head cold. It provides targeted relief from a blocked nose, pressure and a heavy head. 

The congestion relief contains two different capsules - one for the daytime and one for the night.

 

How Sudafed Congestion & Headache Relief Day & Night works

The capsules are designed to provide you with relief, working both in the day and at night.

Both the capsules contain the active ingredients of phenylephrine and paracetamol. 

Phenylephrine is a decongestant which works by reducing the swelling in the nose. It also helps to clear your nasal passage so that you can breathe easier through your nose. 

Paracetamol is a painkiller. It works by reducing the pain you feel and your temperature. 

The daytime capsules also contain caffeine to help with your tiredness and boost pain relief.
