Over-the-counter cold medications are most people’s first line of defense when the sniffles strike, but, before you just grab the first product you see, stop.

  • Choose targeted products that fit the symptoms you have.
  • If you must take several products, make sure your maximum dose of acetaminophen doesn’t exceed 4,000 mg a day.
  • Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you’re older or have high blood pressure to make sure medications are safe.
