Is It Safe To Take Sudafed Decongestant Capsules For Cold?
I have caught my first cold for about three years. It is the sort of cold where I know that it will start to give me ear problems due to the constant blowing of my nose. I went to the chemist this am to buy some Sudafed decongestant capsules but was told that because I tale a 10mg Ramapril tablet daily it would not be safe to take the Sudafed. Is this information really correct?
Thank you

yes this is correct as decongestants have reactions with ramipril
you can use antiallergic tabs fexofenadine as this is safest antiallergic internationally
apply neomycin ointment in nose bd
saline nasal drops in nose to clear the mucus by ciliary action
