What is acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine?

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the cough reflex in the brain that triggers coughing.

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, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sinus congestion, cough, and pain or fever caused by the common cold or flu.

Acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan 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, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine?

Do not take pseudoephedrine 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. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take pseudoephedrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause damage to your liver. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, or allergy medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of a certain drug. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, or pseudoephedrine. Do not give this medicine to a child without a doctor"s advice. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children. Always ask your doctor before treating a cough or cold in a child.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine?

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

How should I take acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine?

Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended. Cough-and-cold medicines should be taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.

Drink extra fluids while you are taking acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine. An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. Taking more acetaminophen could cause damage to your liver. One packet of the oral powder may contain up to 1000 mg of acetaminophen. Know the amount of acetaminophen in the specific product you are taking. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.

Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.

Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.

What should I avoid while taking acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine?

Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, pain, or allergy medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist.
