Power Caps 20 Cap

Description:

Power Caps 20 Cap is an oral combination cold and flu medicine containing ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, manufactured by Chemipharm. It is designed to relieve multiple symptoms of cold, flu, and upper respiratory tract infections, including fever, headache, body aches, sinus pain, and nasal congestion. Ibuprofen provides analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects, while pseudoephedrine acts as a systemic decongestant to reduce swelling of nasal and sinus mucosa and improve breathing. This product is intended for short-term use in adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms associated with common cold and flu, such as fever, headache, and body aches.
• Reduction of nasal congestion and sinus congestion due to cold, flu, or allergic upper respiratory conditions.
• Relief of sinus pain and pressure related to sinusitis or rhinosinusitis (as advised by a doctor).
• Symptomatic relief of sore throat pain, muscular pain, and joint pain associated with viral infections.
