Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan Hbr, Doxylamine Succinate, Phenylephrine Hcl: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions
Brand names: Severe Cold and Flu
# Overview of This Cold and Flu Medicine This medicine is a combination of four ingredients that work together to help you feel better when you have a cold or the flu. Acetaminophen reduces fever and pain, dextromethorphan stops your cough, doxylamine helps you sleep better, and phenylephrine clears your stuffy nose. It's made to treat multiple cold symptoms at the same time, so you don't need to take several different medicines. Before using this medicine, there are important safety rules to follow. Never take it if you're allergic to any of the ingredients, and don't use it if you're currently taking other medicines that contain acetaminophen or similar ingredients—taking too much could seriously hurt your liver. Don't give this medicine to children under 12 years old unless a doctor says it's okay. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you should talk to your doctor first. Always follow the dose instructions on the package, take it exactly as directed, and stop using it if your symptoms don't improve after a few days or if you develop new problems. Keep this medicine at room temperature and out of the reach of children.
