Pseudoephedrine is a medication used to treat nasal congestion. It is a form of norephedrine that helps dilate the nasal passages and bronchi, thereby reducing congestion and difficulty breathing. Pseudoephedrine can be used to treat symptoms of colds, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis.
In Hong Kong, pseudoephedrine is commonly sold as an over-the-counter drug. You should follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice and use the medicine as directed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage to avoid adverse reactions or side effects.
Pseudoephedrine may cause some side effects, including heart palpitations, insomnia, headaches, and loss of appetite. If you develop serious side effects, such as worsening heart palpitations or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
Please store away from children and away from direct sunlight. If you have any questions, please ask your doctor or pharmacist.

It is best to take it after a meal to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal upset. Avoid caffeinated or stimulating foods, such as chocolate or spicy foods, while taking this medication.
