eyes and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that relieves congestion,
promotes sinus draining and improves breathing.
How Taken

full glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet, as doing so will destroy
the long action and may increase the side effects. Do not increase the dose or
take this more frequently than prescribed.

upset, headache, nervousness, dizziness, loss of appetite or thirst. These
