1. WHAT _ADVIL COLD & FLU _IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
_Advil Cold & Flu _is used for the relief of nasal/sinus congestion
with headache, fever and pain
associated with the common cold and flu.
This medicine contains ibuprofen, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory
Drug (NSAID) which works
by relieving pain and reducing high temperature and fever. The tablets
also contain pseudoephedrine
hydrochloride, a decongestant, which helps clear the nasal passages
and ease nasal congestion.
Only use this product if you have a blocked nose together with
headache, pain and/or fever. Do not
use it if you have only one of the symptoms.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE _ADVIL COLD & FLU _

patient should
consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen, or if the product is
required for more
than 3 days.
