Hello,

The drug Sudafed contains Pseudophedrine used as a decongestant medicine in variety of sinus problems and others. The side effect profile are many including allergy, sedation, drowsiness and hang over feeling.

The duration of side effects depends upon the amount of dose, duration of intake and receptor response of the body. If consumed for a short period of time with low doses, usually it is 3-4 working days within which all effects should wear off.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
