Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Pseudoephedrine HCl 30 mg/Guaifenesin 200 mg/Dextromethorphan HBr 10 mg Capsules is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract congestion. This includes conditions such as nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and cough. The efficacy of this formulation is attributed to the synergistic action of three active ingredients: pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, guaifenesin, and dextromethorphan hydrobromide.

Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride acts as a decongestant, working by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action reduces congestion and facilitates easier breathing. Guaifenesin, on the other hand, is an expectorant that aids in thinning and loosening mucus in the lungs, thereby making it easier to cough up and clear. Lastly, dextromethorphan hydrobromide functions as a cough suppressant by decreasing the activity of the cough reflex in the brain.

This compounded formulation is presented in the form of solid dosage capsules. These capsules are composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, while ensuring a precise dosage of the active ingredients. This makes the medication both user-friendly and effective.

This formulation is suitable for use by both adults and children aged 12 years and older. It is crucial to adhere to the directions provided on the label and take the medication as prescribed.
