It contains four active ingredients: aspirin (a pain reliever and fever reducer), chlorpheniramine maleate (an antihistamine typically used to ease sneezing and itching), dextromethorphan hydrobromide (commonly used to reduce cough), and phenylephrine bitartrate (a decongestant typically used to relieve nasal stuffiness). This product is formulated as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established category rules for cold and cough relief combinations.
