If symptoms persist or worsen or if new symptoms appear, patients should stop using the medicine and consult a doctor.

INTERACTIONS
Which medicines or foods can modify the effect of Actifed Decongestant 12 tablets 2.5mg + 60mg?
During concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and sympathomimetic amines, acute hypertensive crises have been reported in the medical literature. Pseudoephedrine exerts a vasoconstrictor action by stimulating adrenergic receptors and releasing noradrenaline from neuronal sites. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may enhance the pressor effect of pseudoephedrine, since they prevent the metabolism of sympathomimetic amines and increase the releasable amount of noradrenaline in the adrenergic nervous tissue. The effects of antihistamines are made more evident by alcohol, hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers and other substances with anticholinergic action or with a depressant effect on the central nervous system, which therefore should not be taken during therapy.
