Daytime Sinus Severe
Generic: Acetaminophen, Guaifenesin, Phenylephrine Hcl
Expectorant✓ FDA-verified
View full FDA label ↗Daytime Sinus Severe is a medication that helps relieve symptoms like headaches, nasal congestion, minor aches and pains, and sinus pressure caused by hay fever, other allergies, or the common cold. It works by loosening mucus in your airways, making it easier to cough up, and it can also lower fever. Adults and children aged 12 and older should take 2 caplets every 4 hours, but they should not take more than 10 caplets in a 24-hour period. A key warning is that it contains acetaminophen, which can cause severe liver damage if you take more than 4,000 mg in a day or if you drink 3 or more alcoholic beverages daily while using it. If you are taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), which is used for certain mental health conditions, you should not use this medication.
