Deconsal II Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information

Deconsal II is a decongestant and expectorant combination. Main ingredients in Deconsal II are Guaifenesin + Pseudoephedrine HCl. The expectorant in Deconsal II helps loosen the thick mucus that causes chest congestion. The decongestant in Deconsal II is used to give relief from stuffy nose, runny nose, and ear congestion caused by allergies and or the common cold, or infection. Deconsal II works by stimulating receptors in the body, mostly in the lining of the nose and sinuses, causing the blood vessel to contract. This results in less fluid to pass through into these linings. Deconsal II helps relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion by reducing the production of mucus. This combination does not cure cold or allergy; instead it provides relief from the symptoms.
