Fast Relief for Catarrh and Nasal Congestion
Sinufed 60mg/2.5mg Tablets are a powerful combination therapy designed to provide rapid relief from upper respiratory symptoms. Manufactured by SKG-Pharma in Lagos, Nigeria, this medication is a staple for managing the discomfort of the common cold, hay fever, and allergic rhinitis.
How Sinufed Works
Sinufed contains two active ingredients that target different symptoms of respiratory distress:
- Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (60mg): A systemic nasal decongestant that shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, allowing you to breathe more easily.
- Triprolidine Hydrochloride (2.5mg): A first-generation antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamines in the body, stopping sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
This dual-action formula makes Sinufed particularly effective for "catarrh" and sinus pressure that often accompany seasonal changes or allergies in Nigeria.
Dosage and Administration
For optimal results, follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider:
- Adults and Children 12 years and older: Take one tablet every 4 to 6 hours.
- Do not exceed four (4) tablets in a 24-hour period.
- The tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food.

- High blood pressure or heart disease
