How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Acetaminophen 300 mg/Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg/Pseudoephedrine HCl 30 mg/Guaifenesin 100 mg Suppository is designed to provide relief from a range of symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and sinus congestion. The formulation combines four active ingredients, each with a specific role in managing these symptoms.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine, works to mitigate the body's response to allergens, thereby reducing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Pseudoephedrine HCl, a decongestant, aids in reducing nasal congestion by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, helps to loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways. Lastly, Acetaminophen provides relief from pain and fever.

The formulation is delivered as a suppository, a solid dosage form that is inserted into the rectum. Once inserted, the suppository dissolves or melts, releasing the medication for local or systemic absorption. To ensure optimal absorption, the suppository should be held in place for a few minutes after insertion. It is recommended that the suppository not be used more than once every four hours and not for more than three consecutive days.

This formulation is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Additionally, it should not be used by patients with a history of glaucoma, difficulty urinating, or asthma. It is also important to avoid using this formulation if you are currently taking any other medications that contain acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, or guaifenesin to prevent potential drug interactions.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its administration, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
