Durasal II

Main Ingredients: Guaifenesin + Pseudoephedrine HCl. Durasal II is a decongestant and expectorant combination. The expectorant in Durasal II helps loosen the thick mucus that causes chest congestion. The decongestant in Durasal II is used to give relief from stuffy nose, runny nose, and ear congestion caused by allergies and or the common cold, or infection. Durasal 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. Durasal 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.
