Generic Name: carbetapentane and pseudoephedrine (kar BAY ta PEN tane and SOO doe ee FED rin)
Brand Names: Allres Pd, Carb Pseudo-Tan, Corzall, Pseudacarb, Re-Tann, Respi-TANN, Respi-Tann Pd
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
Carbetapentane is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.
The combination of carbetapentane and pseudoephedrine is used to treat cough and nasal and sinus congestion caused by the common cold, flu, or bronchitis.
Carbetapentane and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
To make sure you can safely take carbetapentane and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
heart disease or high blood pressure;
a seizure disorder;
glaucoma;
an enlarged prostate or problems with urination;
diabetes; or
a thyroid disorder.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
The chewable tablet must be chewed before you swallow it.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cough or cold medicine within the past few days.
Since cough or cold medicine is taken when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Avoid taking this medication if you also take diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications). Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.
