Although decongestent medication is not dangerous, you need to be careful how much you take, really you should stick to the stated dosage as the majority of decongestent tablets contain paracetamol (1000mg which is equivalant to taking two paracetamol, obviously if you consumed more than that it would be an overdose). Decongestant tablets also contain phenylephrine hydrochloride which increses nblood pressure and also causes drowsiness. The primary side effect of phenylephrine is hypertension. Patients with congestion and hypertension are typically advised to avoid products containing phenylephrine. Patients with a history of epilepsy and on anticonvulsant medication should not take this substance. The drug interaction might produce seizures.
