Description
What Are Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain Tablets?
Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain Tablets combine two powerful ingredients to tackle multiple sinus symptoms in one dose:
-
Ibuprofen (200 mg) – a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever.
-
Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (30 mg) – a decongestant that narrows swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, relieving sinus and nasal congestion.
Together, these ingredients relieve sinus pressure, headaches, blocked nose, and fever in adults and adolescents aged 15 years and over.
Use only when you have both congestion and pain/fever.
If you only have one symptom, ask a pharmacist about single-ingredient alternatives.
How Sudafed Sinus Pressure & Pain Tablets Work
-
Ibuprofen targets pain and swelling in inflamed sinus tissues.
