Contac 400

A runny nose is probably the most annoying and embarrasing part of the common cold. Contac 400 contains no pain killing ingredients so will not help with the aches and high temperature of flu but it does target your nasal problem.

It annoys me that they take out an effective ingredient from OTC medication because there are certain people who an't/shouldn't use it (in this instance the ingredient is dangerous to people with impaired kidney function) Why not just print a warning?
