How should I take Semprex-D?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Allergy medicine is only for short-term use until your symptoms clear up.
Always follow directions on the medicine label about giving Semprex-D to a child. Do not use the medicine only to make a child sleepy. Death can occur from the misuse of cold or allergy medicines in very young children.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken this medicine in the past few days.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Semprex-D is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115.
Overdose symptoms may include severe dizziness or drowsiness, anxiety, restlessness, tremors, hallucinations, fainting, slowed breathing, irregular heart rhythm, or seizure (convulsions).
What should I avoid while taking Semprex-D?
Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how Semprex-D will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired.
Drinking alcohol with this medicine can increase certain side effects.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using other cold or allergy medicines that may contain similar ingredients.
