How It Works

This medicine contains two active ingredients that work together. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, fever, and inflammation by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a decongestant that helps to narrow the blood vessels in the nasal passages, relieving congestion and making it easier to breathe.
