Qc Cold + Flu Severe Coupons & Savings Card – Discount Prices from $13.41

This combination medication is designed to temporarily alleviate symptoms such as cough, chest congestion, fever, body aches, and a stuffy nose caused by the common cold, flu, or respiratory conditions like sinusitis and bronchitis. It contains guaifenesin, which is an expectorant that helps thin and loosen mucus in the lungs, facilitating the removal of mucus through coughing. Dextromethorphan acts as a cough suppressant by targeting the brain's cough center to reduce the urge to cough. Additionally, decongestants are included to ease nasal congestion, and acetaminophen is present as a non-aspirin pain reliever and fever reducer. This medication is typically not recommended for persistent coughs due to smoking, asthma, chronic respiratory issues like emphysema, or coughs with excessive mucus unless advised by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to note that cough-and-cold products have not been proven safe or effective for children under 6 years old, and should not be used for them unless directed by a doctor. Some formulations, such as long-acting tablets or capsules, are not suitable for children under 12 years. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist for guidance on safe use. These products do not cure or shorten the duration of the common cold and may lead to serious side effects if not used according to dosage instructions. To minimize risks, follow all dosing directions carefully. Do not use the medication to induce sleep in children or combine it with other cough-and-cold medications that might have similar ingredients. For additional relief from cough and cold symptoms, consider drinking plenty of fluids, using a humidifier, or applying saline nose drops or spray, as recommended by a healthcare professional.
