  • Phenylephrine relieves nasal blockage, improving breathing and sleep.
  • One tablet covers cough, runny nose and congestion together.

Precautions

  • Only for dry, non-productive cough. A cough bringing up sputum should not be suppressed.
  • Contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, significant arrhythmia and hyperthyroidism.
  • Contraindicated in narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention and significant prostatic enlargement.
  • Do not give with, or within fourteen days of, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Dextromethorphan with an MAOI or serotonergic drug risks serotonin syndrome.
  • Causes drowsiness. Warn before driving, and avoid alcohol and other sedatives.
  • Reassess if cough persists beyond a week, or with fever, breathlessness or blood-stained sputum.
  • Dextromethorphan is subject to misuse at high doses — dispense and use only as prescribed.
  • Not for children without paediatric advice; use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
