Acetaminophen-phenylephrine Hcl-guaifenesin: Uses, Side Effects, and Drug Interactions

Brand names: BRONCOCHEM KIDS COLD AND FLU

# Overview of Acetaminophen-Phenylephrine HCL-Guaifenesin This medicine is a combination of three active ingredients that work together to help you feel better when you have a cold or the flu. Acetaminophen reduces fever and relieves pain and body aches. Phenylephrine HCL is a decongestant that helps clear nasal congestion so you can breathe easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus in your chest, making it easier to cough up. You would use this medicine when you have multiple cold symptoms at the same time and want one product to address them all. Before taking this medicine, it's important to follow the dosage instructions on the package carefully and never take more than recommended. Don't use this medicine if you're taking other medications that contain acetaminophen, since taking too much acetaminophen can damage your liver. Talk to a doctor before using this medicine if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, or diabetes. Stop using it immediately if you experience chest pain, severe headache, or difficulty breathing, and contact a doctor. Always keep this medicine out of reach of children, and if a child swallows too much, call poison control right away.
