Expectorant✓ FDA-verified
View full FDA label ↗Sinus Severe is a medication that helps relieve symptoms from hay fever, other upper respiratory allergies, and the common cold, such as sinus congestion, pressure headaches, nasal congestion, and minor aches and pains. It works by loosening mucus and making coughs more productive, while also reducing fever. Adults and children aged 12 and over 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 combined with other acetaminophen-containing products. If you are taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) for depression or other conditions, you should not use this medication.
