Advil Cold & Sinus Caplets

For over 20 years, people have trusted Advil Cold & Sinus for powerful, non-drowsy relief of their tough cold and sinus symptoms.

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 in the nose 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.
