Acetaminophen-dextromethorphan Hbr-phenylephrine Hcl-chlorpheniramine Maleate: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

# Overview of Acetaminophen-Dextromethorphan-Phenylephrine-Chlorpheniramine Combination This medicine is a combination of four different ingredients that work together to help you feel better when you have a cold or flu. Acetaminophen helps reduce fever and pain, dextromethorphan stops your cough, phenylephrine clears up a stuffy nose, and chlorpheniramine helps dry up runny nose and reduce sneezing. You would use this medicine when you have multiple cold symptoms happening at the same time and need one product to tackle all of them. It's important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and never take more than recommended. Do not give this medicine to young children, and keep it out of reach of kids. Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any prescription medications, especially any drugs for depression, psychiatric problems, or Parkinson's disease called MAOIs—taking this cold medicine with those drugs can be dangerous. If you're unsure whether your prescription contains an MAOI, ask your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. Stop taking the medicine and talk to a doctor if your symptoms don't improve or get worse.
