Advil^® Cold & Sinus Caplets

Reduce the swelling caused by nasal inflammation and breathe easier with Advil^® Cold & Sinus Caplets.

Advil Cold & Sinus

Many people attribute sinus pressure to an increase in mucus which blocks their airways. While it is true that increased mucus is a symptom of the common cold, it is not always what makes you feel so stuffed up. Sinus congestion can also be associated with the swelling of the tissues throughout the sinuses known as inflammation. The result is a shrinking of your airways.

Advil^® Cold & Sinus combines the relief of a strong decongestant to open your airways with the power of Advil^® to relieve the pain commonly associated with sinus pressure.

Advil^® Cold & Sinus is available behind the pharmacy counter.
