Picture this: you have a whole day planned ahead of you. In your mind, everything’s in their perfect places–this will be an amazingly productive day, and nothing can stop you! The catch? You wake up with the awfully familiar feeling of nasal congestion. You hear yourself speak, and now you’re so sure that your presentation is ruined! In one fell swoop, all your plans are wiped out!
Whether you like it or not, having sipon can very quickly sour your day. Unfortunately, it’s a symptom that usually accompanies common illnesses. In an episode of Bianca Gonzalez’s Paano Ba ‘To, Dr. Gia Sison shares that people should watch out for respiratory tract infections, “Andyan ‘yung inuubo ka, ‘yung flu, COVID, cold, sinusitis… with that, sometimes kasama ‘yung sipon. That’s the bothering part, eh. So we need something to push that out.”
The Power of Phenylpropanolamine HCl
With so many medicines available in the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming for the average consumer. Knowing when to take medication is also something that is unclear for most.
Doc Gia explains that if the symptoms are bothersome for the patient, they can start taking medication, “Bad trip ang magka-clogged nose, eh. It can cause headache, pain, and post-nasal drip… So we really need something to push the mucus out– that’s the role of phenylpropanolamine. It’s a molecule that decongests and helps you feel better.”
She further explains that flushing sipon out of your system quickly is also a factor that can affect how long you have an infection, “The less mucus stays inside our bodies, the less infection we get… Kaya mas maganda na maagapan nang maaga. [Phenylpropanolamine] is one of the most common medications we give to relieve a patient from sipon.”
Chlorphenamine Maleate and Paracetamol: Must-have ingredients
Because sipon comes with a variety of other symptoms, medications with chlorphenamine maleate can help relieve you from discomfort. This molecule is an antihistamine that can target sipon symptoms, like runny nose, sneezing and itchy watery eyes.
Another wonder ingredient to look for in your medicine is the more familiar paracetamol. It’s an antipyretic and analgesic, which means it can reduce fever and relieve pain.
Because of how common sipon is, we tend to dismiss it as an inconvenience that gets in the way of having productive days.. If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s important to observe and address these symptoms right away. Kahit itanong mo sa doktor!
When you’re knocked down by sipon, don’t wait! Stop it in its tracks by taking medicine with phenylpropanolamine HCI to decongest right away; chlorphenamine maleate to target runny nose and sneezing; and paracetamol to prevent fever and relieve pain. All of these, you can find in Phenylpropanolamine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (Decolgen® Forte)! That’s why it can deliver effective and powerful relief. No need to worry about having unproductive sick days, as long as you have Decolgen® Forte in your arsenal.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
