What is acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

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

What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen, dexbrompheniramine, and pseudoephedrine?

Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children. Do not use this medication if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause damage to your liver.

It can increase the risk of liver damage while you are taking acetaminophen.

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