Being originally from the midwest, I'm very familiar with the summer cold. Probably one of the nastiest illnesses one can get. Closest you can get to feeling like Death Warmed Over, for sure. Boy...if you could lay your hands on some Triaminicin, you'd swear miracles do exists. Coarse, you'd have to delve into the black market to score any.
Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sinus congestion, sneezing, and pain or fever caused by allergies or the common cold.
Acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
It was the Pseudoephedrine that caused it's demise. Just goes to show the more we advance the farther we fall behind.
