How to Use

Use this daytime liquid exactly as directed on the label or as advised by a healthcare professional. Measure each dose with the provided dosing cup to support accurate intake. Do not use a kitchen spoon, because it can lead to the wrong dose.

Shake the bottle well before each use. Take the liquid by mouth. Keep the bottle tightly closed after each use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and moisture.

For best results, use the medicine when cough, mucus, and nasal congestion are active during the day. This formula fits well into daytime cold care because it addresses several upper respiratory symptoms in one bottle without adding a sedating effect.

Dosage

Follow age-appropriate dosing directions carefully:

• Adults and children 12 years and older: take 30 mL every 4 hours
• Do not exceed 4 doses in 24 hours
• Children under 12 years: do not use unless a healthcare professional directs otherwise

Use only the recommended amount. Taking more than directed does not improve relief and increases the risk of unwanted effects. Patients with ongoing symptoms after several days should seek medical advice.

Precautions

This cough and congestion liquid should be used with care in certain situations. Read the label before use, especially if you are taking other cold or flu medicines. Many combination medicines contain overlapping ingredients.

Important precautions include:

• Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient in this medicine
• Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or trouble urinating
• Do not use with monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs or within 14 days of stopping them
• Speak with a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Avoid combining it with other cough, decongestant, or multi-symptom cold medicines unless advised
• Stop use and seek medical help if symptoms worsen, last longer than expected, or are joined by high fever, rash, or persistent headache

This medicine is for short-term symptom relief. It does not treat the underlying viral infection that causes the common cold.

Side Effects

Most patients use this liquid medicine without serious problems when they follow the label directions. Still, side effects can occur.

Possible side effects include:

• Nervousness
• Restlessness
• Mild stomach upset
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Increased heart rate
• Trouble sleeping

Stop use and seek urgent medical attention if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling, trouble breathing, or severe rash. Patients who take too much can face more serious reactions, so careful measuring is essential.
