FAQ

  • What dose of Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride should I take?

    The 60mg strength is a standard dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age, and you can take one tablet every four to six hours. However, don't exceed four tablets in a day.

    It is typically recommended to take one tablet every 4-6 hours, for a maximum of 4 tablets per day.

  • Are Care decongestants the same as Sudafed decongestant tablets?

    Yes, they contain most of the same ingredients but different brand names. While both have the same effects, Sudafed decongestant tablets are often more expensive.

  • Who should avoid the medicine?

    Before allowing you to checkout, you'll answer a few short questions so our pharmacists can determine your suitability. However, you should avoid the medication if any of the following apply:

    • You're allergic to pseudoephedrine or any of the other ingredients in the tablets.
    • You suffer from high blood pressure, as the active ingredient of pseudoephedrine can worsen the condition.
    • You're taking medications to treat mood disorders, treat high blood pressure, and an overactive thyroid gland. People using monoamine oxidase inhibitors, appetite suppressants, and beta blockers should avoid decongestant tablets.
    • You have thyroid problems, as the medication can interrupt its functioning.

    • You have a history of liver and kidney problems, along with heart disease.
