Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Brompheniramine Maleate 4 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg/Guaifenesin 300 mg Capsules is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and the flu. This combination medication contains three active ingredients: brompheniramine maleate, an antihistamine that helps to reduce allergy symptoms such as sneezing and nasal congestion; pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, a decongestant that works to relieve nasal congestion; and guaifenesin, an expectorant that aids in loosening mucus and reducing chest congestion.

The medication is encapsulated within two gelatin or vegetarian shells, creating a solid dosage form that is easy to swallow and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. This ensures that each capsule delivers the exact amount of medication needed to effectively manage your symptoms.

It's important to note that while this formulation is effective in treating symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and the flu, it is not designed to treat asthma, as it does not contain an inhaled bronchodilator. Therefore, it should not be used as a substitute for asthma medication.
