TYLENOL® Sinus Severe Daytime Caplets

For Non-Drowsy Relief of Pain, Sinus Pressure & Congestion

  • For non-drowsy relief of symptoms due to the common cold, flu, hay fever or other respiratory allergies such as mucus and sinus congestion

  • Temporarily relieves minor aches and pains as well as symptoms of chest congestion, nasal congestion, sinus headache and pressure

  • Each caplet contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen to reduce fever and pain; 5 milligrams of nasal decongestant phenylephrine HCl to help clear nasal passages; and 200 milligrams of the expectorant guaifenesin to help make coughs more productive

  • The non-drowsy formula of this sinus decongestant medicine provides effective daytime symptom relief by promoting sinus drainage, decongesting sinus openings and passages, and thinning bronchial secretions to help make coughs more productive

On November 8, 2024 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a proposed order to remove oral phenylephrine (PE) from the OTC monograph. The FDA proposed order is not related to safety.
