A single-ingredient tablet lets you add what you want: paracetamol for aches, a non-drowsy antihistamine for hay fever, nothing at all for a plain blocked nose. And pseudoephedrine is the decongestant that actually opens the nose, which is why it's behind the counter and the phenylephrine ones aren't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults and children over 12: one tablet up to four times a day, no more than four in 24 hours.
