What is the dose of the medication you are taking? |
Guaifenesin:
Indication: Used to assist the expectoration of phlegm from the airways in acute respiratory tract infections.
AmeFlu E (Guaifenesin) is an expectorant which increases the output of phlegm (sputum) and bronchial secretions by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. The increased flow of less viscous secretions promotes ciliary action and changes a dry, unproductive cough to one that is more productive and less frequent. By reducing the viscosity and adhesiveness of secretions, AmeFlu E (Guaifenesin) increases the efficacy of the mucociliary mechanism in removing accumulated secretions from the upper and lower airway.
Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride:
Indication: For the treatment of nasal congestion, control of urinary incontinence, priapism and obesity.
AmeFlu E (Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride) (PPA), a sympathomimetic agent structurally similar to pseudoephedrine, is used to treat nasal congestion. AmeFlu E (Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride) is found in appetite suppressant formulations and with guaifenesinin in cough-cold formulations. In 2000, the FDA requested that all drug companies discontinue marketing products containing AmeFlu E (Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride), due to an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in women who used AmeFlu E (Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride).
Depending on the reaction of the AmeFlu E after taken, if you are feeling dizziness, drowsiness or any weakness as a reaction on your body, Then consider AmeFlu E not safe to drive or operate heavy machine after consumption.
