What is acetaminophen and pseudoephedrine?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

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 and pseudoephedrine is used to treat stuffy nose, sinus congestion, and pain or fever casued by the common cold. Pseudoephedrine also treats congestion of the tubes that drain fluid from your inner ears, called the eustachian (yoo-STAY-shun) tubes.

Acetaminophen and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take a decongestant before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.
