Sudafed Mucus Relief Day & Night Capsules – 16 Capsules
What are Sudafed Mucus Relief Day & Night Capsules?
These Sudafed capsules are a form of treatment that is intended to treat the symptoms of a cold and the flu, including a blocked, stuffy nose, a headache, a fever, and any other symptoms associated with the illnesses. This treatment contains two different types of a capsule that are intended to be taken during the day and at night. Both types of capsule contain two active ingredients. These are:
- Paracetamol
- Phenylephrine
Paracetamol is a painkiller that is found in a variety of different types of medication that also helps to treat a fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works to ease congestion in the nose that has been caused by inflammation and swelling in the nasal airways. The day capsules also contain a third active ingredient, caffeine. Caffeine helps to treat drowsiness and fatigue and when combined with paracetamol, can improve the painkilling effect.
What causes a cold or the flu?
A cold or the flu are both viruses that are caused by the spread of germs, either in the air or on hard surfaces that are touched regularly.
