Alka Seltzer Plus Cold and Cough

Generic Name: aspirin/chlorpheniramine/dextromethorphan/ phenylpropanolamine (AS pir in/klor fen IR a meen/dex troe meth OR fan/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)
Brand Names: Alka Seltzer Plus Cold and Cough

What is aspirin/ chlorpheniramine/ dextromethorphan/ phenylpropanolamine?

Aspirin is in a class of drugs called salicylates. Aspirin is a pain reliever, an anti-inflammatory, and a fever reducer. It is used to treat many conditions, such as headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers.

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine. It blocks the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Chlorpheniramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It suppresses an area in the brain that causes coughing.

Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces blood flow to affected areas and allows nasal passages to open up.

The combination, aspirin/chlorpheniramine/ dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion; sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses); headache; fever; and aches, pains, and coughs associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.

Aspirin/chlorpheniramine/dextromethorphan/phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
