Duotan PD Suspension

Generic Name: Dexchlorpheniramine/Pseudoephedrine Suspension (dex-klor-fen-IR-a-meen/soo-doe-e-FED-rin)
Brand Name: Duotan PD and Tanafed DP

Duotan PD Suspension is used for:

Relieving congestion, sneezing, runny nose, nasal or throat itching, and itchy or watery eyes caused by colds, hay fever, or other allergic conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Duotan PD Suspension is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.
