View full FDA label ↗Cvs Nighttime Cold is a medication designed to temporarily relieve symptoms of the common cold and flu, such as nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, and minor aches and pains. It works by reducing swelling in the nasal passages, which helps you breathe easier and promotes drainage. Adults and children aged 12 and over can take 30 mL every 4 hours, but you should not exceed 4 doses in a 24-hour period. A key warning to keep in mind is that this product contains acetaminophen, and taking more than the recommended dose can lead to severe liver damage. Additionally, if you are taking certain medications for depression or emotional conditions known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), you should not use this product.
