Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the cough reflex in the brain that triggers coughing.

Pyrilamine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

Acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine, and pyrilamine is a combination medicine used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine, and pyrilamine will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Intra-anal treatment of moderate to severe pain associated with chronic anal fissure.

Chronic anal fissure is thought to be related to sustained high resting anal sphincter tone and associated anodermal ischemia. Lateral internal sphincterotomy generally has been used to treat anal fissures that do not respond to conservative therapy (e.g., sitz baths, increased dietary fiber); however, minor incontinence, which may be persistent, may develop after surgery. Botulinum toxin type A injections or topical therapy with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin rectal ointment) or calcium-channel blocking agents (e.g., diltiazem gel, not commercially available in US) has been used to reduce anal sphincter tone and circumvent potential complications of surgery.
