Nesstab LA

Main Ingredients: Guaifenesin + Pseudoephedrine HCL

Nesstab LA is a decongestant and expectorant combination. The expectorant in Nesstab LA helps loosen the thick mucus that causes chest congestion. The decongestant in Nesstab LA is used to give relief from stuffy nose, runny nose, and ear congestion caused by allergies and or the common cold, or infection. Nesstab LA 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. Nesstab LA 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.
