How many Sudafed Sinus Max Strength Capsules can I take to reduce aches and soothe swelling?

Adults, the elderly, and children aged 16 and over:

  • Swallow two capsules every four to six hours.

Why can't you use Sudafed for more than three days?

Sudafed Sinus Max Strength Capsules contain a decongestant called phenylephrine hydrochloride which narrows the blood vessels in your nasal passages. If you take a decongestant medication for more than three days in a row, this may worsen your condition, causing a condition called 'rebound congestion'.

The powerful decongestant in these capsules take between 15 to 30 minutes to work, so you should notice an improvement in your symptoms after half an hour to one hour.

Can Sudafed Sinus Max Strength Capsules make you feel drowsy?

Sudafed Sinus Max Strength Capsules contain a decongestant, which is typically deemed non-sedating. So, you shouldn't feel drowsy, unlike other decongestants such as pseudoephedrine.
