Care Decongestant Tablets Pseudoephedrine 60mg - 12 Tablets

The plain decongestant: pseudoephedrine 60mg on its own, with no painkiller and no antihistamine, for a blocked nose, sinus congestion and the stuffed-up chest of a cold, flu or hay fever. Non-drowsy, sucrose-free, and the pharmacy-generic equivalent of Sudafed Decongestant tablets. 12 tablets, pharmacy-only.

Most cold remedies bundle a decongestant with paracetamol you may not need, or with an antihistamine that sends you to sleep. 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.

Adults and children over 12: one tablet up to four times a day, no more than four in 24 hours. Not for under-12s. Don't take with any other decongestant or cold and flu product containing pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine. Avoid a dose late in the evening if it keeps you awake. If congestion lasts more than a week, see a pharmacist or GP.

Not suitable with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma, severe kidney disease or within 14 days of an MAOI antidepressant; the questionnaire checks each. Stop and seek urgent help for a sudden severe headache, confusion, seizures or vision changes. Twelve tablets is the legal maximum of pseudoephedrine per sale, so one pack per order. Pharmacist-reviewed before dispatch.
