Description

What Are Actifed Multi-Action Tablets?

Actifed Multi-Action Tablets are an effective combination medicine that relieves nasal congestion, sinus pressure, runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes caused by colds, flu, hay fever, or allergies.

Each tablet contains two active ingredients:

  • Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (60mg) – a decongestant that clears blocked noses and sinuses by reducing swelling in nasal passages.

  • Triprolidine hydrochloride (2.5mg) – an antihistamine that eases allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive multi-symptom relief from common cold and allergy discomfort.
