H 9600 SR: Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information
H 9600 SR is a decongestant and expectorant combination.
Main ingredients in H 9600 SR are Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine HCl.The
expectorant in H 9600 SR helps loosen the thick mucus that causes chest
congestion. The decongestant in H 9600 SR is used to give relief from
stuffy nose, runny nose, and ear congestion caused by allergies and or the
common cold, or infection. H 9600 SR 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. H 9600 SR 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.
