About Care Decongestant Tablets

Care Decongestant Tablets contain pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60mg, a powerful decongestant used to provide fast-acting relief from a blocked nose and sinuses. It is specifically formulated to reduce the swelling of blood vessels in the nasal passages, which helps to decrease mucus production and clear the airways. These tablets are designed to treat congestion associated with hay fever, sinusitis, the common cold, and other upper respiratory tract infections. Care Decongestant Tablets are non-drowsy and suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. They are available in a convenient pack size:
