They are a pharmacy medicine for adults and children aged 12 and over, kept behind the counter, and they are the decongestant tablet our pharmacists recommend because pseudoephedrine works where phenylephrine does not.

About Sudafed Decongestant Tablets
- What it is for
- Sudafed Decongestant Tablets contain pseudoephedrine, the decongestant with the best evidence, and unblock a stuffy nose and sinuses from colds, flu and hay fever without causing drowsiness.
- Suitable for
- Adults and children aged 12 and over
- Active ingredient
- Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60 mg
- Medicine type
- Pharmacy medicine. A pharmacist will ask a couple of quick questions before handing it over.
How to use it
Adults and children aged 12 and over take one tablet every four to six hours as needed, up to four tablets in 24 hours. Take the last dose a few hours before bed, because pseudoephedrine can keep you awake. Do not use for more than seven days without advice. Because it is a pharmacy medicine, we will ask what other medicines you take before supplying it.
Who should check with us first
Not for children under 12. Do not take it if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, an overactive thyroid, closed angle glaucoma, severe kidney problems or diabetes, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you take a beta blocker, or if you take or have taken an MAOI antidepressant in the last two weeks. Speak to us first if you have an enlarged prostate or trouble passing urine. Do not combine it with other decongestants, including cold and flu products that already contain one.
Always read the label and the leaflet.

Sudafed Decongestant Tablets questions
Pseudoephedrine is a pharmacy medicine. UK law limits packs to 720 mg per sale, one pack per person, and requires a pharmacist to check it is suitable, because it raises blood pressure and interacts with some medicines. Ask at the counter and it takes a minute.
No. Pseudoephedrine narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure and heart rate, so it is not suitable if you have high blood pressure or heart disease. Use a saline spray, steam or a steroid nasal spray instead, and ask our pharmacists for a free blood pressure check if you are not sure.
The tablets contain pseudoephedrine, which works through the bloodstream over a few hours and can be used for up to a week. The Blocked Nose Spray contains xylometazoline, which acts directly on the nose within minutes but must not be used for more than seven days because of rebound congestion.
Yes. Pseudoephedrine does not cause drowsiness; if anything it can make you feel alert or restless and may disturb sleep, which is why we suggest taking the last dose well before bedtime.
Sometimes, if the ears are blocked because of a cold and the Eustachian tube is congested. It is not a treatment for earwax or an ear infection. Ear pain that lasts more than two days is something we can assess under NHS Pharmacy First.
