  • What is Sudafed Decongestant Liquid?
    Sudafed Decongestant Liquid is a fast-acting medicine designed to alleviate nasal congestion caused by colds, flu, sinusitis, and hay fever. It contains pseudoephedrine, a decongestant that helps reduce swelling in the nasal passages and sinuses, making it easier to breathe.
