Sinufed syrup is a combination medication that is used to temporarily treat cough and runny/stuffy nose (nasal congestion) caused by infections (such as the common cold), allergies (such as hay fever), and other breathing illnesses. It contains pseudoephedrine and guaifenesin. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that reduces nasal congestion by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose.
