Sudafed Non-drowsy Congestion & Headache Capsules

After putting off my one and only perk that I receive for working for the NHS, ie a free flu injection, guess what.... Yes you've guessed it, I caught the flu, and by god did I get a good dose of it! I suffered for a good 10 days with every symptom you would expect, and a few others to boot, one of them being chronic sinusitis. Never having suffered with this condition before, I was unsure on how to treat it, after suffering for a couple of days with bad headaches and pains over my eyes I decided I had to get something. After perusing the medicine aisle in Asda for something suitable for my condition I happened upon a new product available from ...  Read the complete review

I have just used a couple of these capsules and so far, the results are limited. They cost around £3.80 for a box of 16 capsules. The box has a green colour scheme with the Sudafed logo in bold black letters on the front. It is clearly described for congestion and headache. I don't even have much of a headache but it's not helping with the congestion part at all right now. The box contains two packets of 8 tablets. You are meant to take two every 4 hours as they contain paracetamol so don't have paracetamol on top of these as you would be overdosing. The capsules are very easy to swallow and prevent you from tasting something vile, which is good. ...  Read the complete review

Today I've woken up with a head cold. Bit snuffly and banging head ache. I got the sudafed out of the medicine cabinet and hoped that it would make me feel better. To be honest it's not been doing much for me though. Sudafed congestion and headache capsules contain paracetamol, caffeine and phenylephrine. They are meant to unblock your nose and relieve headaches. They are non-drowsy which is obviously useful if driving etc. Not suitable for children under 6 years. My box contains 16 capsules and you take 2 every 4 hours as needed. The thing I'm finding with these sudafed is that it helps my stuffy nose, but unfortunately my headache is still well ...  Read the complete review

I was once advised by a nurse that Sudafed and the like only tend to enlarge the tissue in your sinuses, thus treating symptoms not any core issue. To be honest, I really don't care! Nothing helps me feel better when I'm bogged down, apart from Sudafed (and maybe Olbas Oil!). Being self-employed, it is a bit of a crisis when I'm hit with flu or colds, and the whole operation is put out of action for however long it takes. But after just a couple of these, I begin to feel much more able to carry on with what needs to be done. The problem may not be taken away, but the pressure is certainly relieved, stress levels go down, and I can work a thousand ...  Read the complete review

I am a migrane sufferer who has had migraines for four years. Never would I have thought that it was to do with my sinusis. It would only when I developed a really nasty cold that I started taking sudafed. If I had a migraine as well, the Sudafed would dramaticaly help. The pressure on my sinusis was grately relived and the migraine would turn to a less painful headache whenever I took the Sudafed. Since my cold has gone, if i feel pressure above my eye or under my eye during a migrane, I take Sudafed congestion and headache non-drowsy to help relive the pain around my eye. 7 out of 10 times it works, and for me it's a relief after suffering for four years ...  Read the complete review
