line

ACTIFED® Plus Head Cold & Sinus medication provides rapid relief of symptoms of hay fever, allergies, or the common cold, including stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes, sinus pain, headache and fever, with extra strength pain reliever.

 

This medicine is an analgesic (Acetaminophen), antihistamine, and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure. The analgesic works in the brain to reduce pain and fever.
