Actifed Cold Syrup is a highly effective, dual-action medication designed to relieve the symptoms of the common cold, hay fever, and other upper respiratory allergies. It combines a powerful decongestant with a trusted antihistamine to tackle both "stuffed-up" and "drippy" nasal symptoms simultaneously.
This product is primarily indicated for the relief of upper respiratory symptoms. It is used to:
Clear Nasal Congestion: Shrinks swollen membranes in the nose and sinuses, making it easier to breathe.
Dry Up Runny Noses: Stops the excessive production of mucus associated with viral colds or allergies.
Stop Sneezing: Blocks the allergic triggers that cause repetitive sneezing fits.
Relieve Watery/Itchy Eyes: Alleviates the eye irritation that often accompanies hay fever.
Reduce Post-Nasal Drip: Helps dry up the drainage that often leads to a tickly, irritating cough.
Adults and Children (over 12 years): 10ml (two teaspoons) every 4 to 6 hours.
Children (6 to 12 years): 5ml (one teaspoon) every 4 to 6 hours.
Children (2 to 5 years): 2.5ml (half a teaspoon) every 4 to 6 hours.
Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 4 doses in a 24-hour period.
Note: Not recommended for children under 2 years of age. Always use the measuring cup provided for accuracy.
Actifed uses a synergistic formula to provide relief:
Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride: A decongestant that acts on the blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and clear congestion.
Triprolidine Hydrochloride: An antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors, effectively stopping sneezing, runny noses, and watery eyes.
To ensure the best results:
Consistency: Take the doses at regular intervals to maintain relief throughout the day.
Safety: Because Actifed can cause drowsiness, it is particularly effective as a "night-time" dose to help you sleep without a blocked or runny nose.
Storage: Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and children.
Indicated For: Individuals suffering from a "head cold," sinus pressure, or hay fever symptoms.
Precautions: This medication may cause drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the sedative effect.
Contraindications:
Not for individuals with severe high blood pressure or heart disease.
Consult our pharmacist if you have glaucoma, diabetes, or thyroid issues.
Do not take if you are currently using or have used MAOIs (antidepressants) in the last 14 days.
Q: Can I take Actifed with Paracetamol?
A: Yes, Actifed does not contain a pain reliever, so it is generally safe to take with Paracetamol if you also have a fever or headache. However, do not take it with other "Multi-Symptom" cold medicines that might already contain decongestants.
Q: Will it keep me awake?
A: While Triprolidine usually causes drowsiness, some individuals react to Pseudoephedrine (the decongestant) by feeling slightly "wired" or restless. Monitor your reaction to see how it affects your sleep.
Q: Is it safe for breastfeeding mothers?
A: Decongestants can sometimes reduce milk supply, and antihistamines pass into breast milk. Please consult our pharmacist for a safer alternative if you are currently nursing.
