Description
Advil Cold & Flu Coated Tablets provide fast and effective relief from the combined symptoms of the common cold and influenza. This dual-action formula is specifically designed to target nasal and sinus congestion while simultaneously tackling the headaches and fevers that often accompany a winter illness.
Dual-Action Formula: How It Works:
Advil Cold & Flu uses two key active ingredients to address multiple symptoms at once:
- Ibuprofen (200mg): A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by relieving pain and reducing high temperature and fever.
- Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (30mg): A powerful decongestant that acts on the blood vessels in the nose to reduce swelling, helping to clear nasal passages and ease sinus pressure.
Dosage:
