Now I don’t know about your education, but to me this means that the tablets aren’t drowsy, and that I’m buying stuffy nasal congestion. What a good thing my delightful pharmacist was on hand to translate this into English for me. No mean feat, given she’s from Latvia and English is her third language. Clever bunny. So I now know that these little red tablets should clear my head and nose ...

...that I was introduced to Sudafed Tablets. Being a smoker the symtoms associated with a cold are somewhat inflated and after discussing my dilemma with a close friend he suggested that I try Sudafed Tablets.
This medication is abolutely incredible. After just 30 minutes of taking my first tablet the dripping stopped. Not only that the congestion in the nasal passages also cleared after giving it a good blow and did not clog up again after a short ... ...relief tablets.
Sudafed is a preparation that targets the nasal congestion aspect of your cold. Other medications try to do a bit of everything i.e. something for the congestion, something for the body aches/pains that go with a cold, something for the body temperature that is usually eratic during the course of a cold. However since the nasal congestion forms a bulk of the problem, if it is treated properely then you will only suffer from the other ...

This review will be about the non-drowsy congestion relief version. I am sure you have all seen the ad with the guy explaining why you feel so stuffy with a cold. He tells us that it is 'not the build up of snot - yuck!' but the fact that our blood vessels swell when we have an infection which causes the stuffy, blocked feeling.
I have many a times despaired when I have had a cold of ever being able to breathe properly again, so when a few days ... ...started, I vowed to finally test the congestion relief Sudafed.
These cost £2.49 for a pack of 12 tablets in Tesco.
I was fairly surprised to realise that these appear to literally only be for the relief of nasal congestion and catarrh. They do not contain any paracetamol, aspirin, codeine or ibuprofen and the sole active ingredient is Phenylephrine Hydrochloride.
This is known as a sympathomimetic drug and in this instance is a stimulant which ...
