I have now put this review in the correct category.

If you suffer from nasal congestion and cold or flu symptoms then Non-Drowsy Sudafed Dual Relief capsules may be just what you need. I have tried them recently and they really worked.

This medicine is available over the counter without prescription, in either packs of 16 or 32. The cost of the packet of 16 is £2.79GBP at Boots.

The packaging of these capsules (in my opinion) is very interesting and has been well thought of by the manufacturers. When you see the box you will immediately notice that the medicine is actually dual relief. There is an artist?s impression of a face showing 2 arrows.
One is for the ingredient to relieve sinus congestion, whilst the other is for the ingredient for pain relief.

Firstly, let me give you a statement of the active ingredients: in each capsule you will find:
Paracetamol 300mg
Caffeine 25mg
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5mg.

Other ingredients contained in the capsules are:
Starch, Croscarmellose sodium, Sodium Lauryl sulphate, Magnesium stearate, Gelatin, Titanium dioxide, Yellow iron oxide, E131, and E104.

The active ingredients I mentioned earlier have the following effects:

1) The phenlyephrine is there to relieve nasal and sinus blockages.
2) The paracetamol eases the pain.
3) The caffeine may help you to stop being tired, which is in itself a symptom of a cold or flu.

When I did take these capsules, I found all three of the active ingredients went some way to relieve my cold. Time also helped.

You must also take extra care if you have liver or kidney problems, or are taking cholestyramine to reduce blood cholesterol, or are taking anything to combat high blood pressure.

If, for some reason you do take more capsules than is recommended, then you should see your doctor immediately to avoid any lasting internal problems.

Despite the above, I hope this review gives you an insight into this type of cold remedy, and I can recommend buying it, as it has worked for me.
