ACTIFED TABS X12 PACK

Actifed Tablets is a non-prescription medication widely used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies, the common cold, and upper respiratory infections. The Actifed x12 pack contains 12 tablets, making it a convenient option for those looking for fast-acting and effective relief from uncomfortable symptoms.

Uses of Actifed Tablets

Actifed Tablets are primarily used in the treatment of symptoms related to:

Common cold – It helps to reduce sneezing, a runny nose, and congestion.
Seasonal allergies – Relieving symptoms like itching, watery eyes, and nasal congestion.
Respiratory infections – Assisting in reducing symptoms associated with sinus congestion and inflammation.

Actifed is ideal for people experiencing persistent congestion, runny nose, and other respiratory symptoms, making it easier to carry on with daily activities without the discomfort of cold or allergy symptoms.

Ingredients in Actifed Tablets

Each Actifed Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (60 mg) and Triprolidine Hydrochloride (2.5 mg)

These ingredients work together to provide comprehensive relief, addressing both the congestion and allergy-related symptoms often associated with colds and respiratory issues.

How Actifed Tablets Work in the Body

The combination of pseudoephedrine and triprolidine targets both nasal and sinus congestion along with allergy symptoms. Here’s how they work:

Pseudoephedrine helps by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing the swelling and congestion that cause blocked sinuses and difficulty breathing.

Triprolidine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamines in the body. Histamines are chemicals released during allergic reactions that cause itching, swelling, and fluid build-up, leading to a runny nose and watery eyes.

Together, these two ingredients relieve symptoms effectively by reducing congestion and easing allergy symptoms, allowing for clearer airways and less irritation.
