For Allergic Rhinitis "Aprodine was recommended by a friend who dealt with the same prolonged nasal congestion and rhinitis. It has been a lifesaver. One pill a day. I breathe better, taste better, smell better, and my sleep is improved. Honestly, the best medicine I’ve ever taken for cold symptoms."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Allergic Rhinitis "In my opinion, Aprodine is the best allergy/cold medicine available. It works better than prescribed drugs for me. It's hard to find, unfortunately, not all pharmacies carry it. You do have to ask for it, it's controlled sales. It can raise your b.p., so be careful."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Cold Symptoms "When used for colds, Actifed works well for drying up post-nasal drip that causes near-constant coughing, especially at night. It does cause drowsiness, but not a problem for nighttime use. I can get a nearly full night of rest. However, with subsequent use on following nights, Actifed's effectiveness lasts only half as long."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have used pseudoephedrine and triprolidine for my multiple allergies and asthma since 1972. I have experienced on occasions prostate swelling, minor sleepiness, etc.; however, its benefits far outweigh its side effects. For several years, I have used one 60 mg/30 mg tablet a day, and it has managed my classic rhinitis. The combination of pseudoephedrine and triprolidine has proven superior to all other combinations (I have tried them all) over the years. Now, it appears the med is drying up (pardon the pun), possibly from the meth freaks' misuse, and now we must all suffer for their predatory rechemicalizations."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Allergic Rhinitis "I've tried almost all of the sinusitis medicines, but none come close to Actifed. Actifed is the only one that gives me relief from runny nose, sneezing, post nasal drip within 20 minutes. Yes, I do get a dry mouth now and again after taking a tablet. The only other side effect is that after taking a few tablets over a few days, I break out in a skin rash in some places (back, stomach). Worth it for the relief, though."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Cold Symptoms "This is my absolute favorite for colds with a runny and partially blocked nose, itchy and watery eyes, and sneezing. This antihistamine does make me drowsy a tiny bit, but I can go to work as normal and don't really see any difference. I tried combining some other antihistamines and phenylephrine, but I keep going back to good old Actifed. The only downside - it really makes my mouth and throat dry, so I guess I might try taking half of the tablet instead."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Cold Symptoms "Every time I have a cold, this is the only OTC drug that makes going to work possible. Occasionally makes me drowsy, but it dries the cold up really well. Need to drink a lot of water, as you get a slightly dry throat."

For Cold Symptoms "This product dried up my sinus very well, however, it made me extremely drowsy, so all I wanted to do was sleep. I experienced dizziness as well. I would suggest nighttime use but not during the day. I couldn't drive or work in this condition."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Cold Symptoms "It helped with my incredibly runny nose. I hadn't been able to breathe for 5 days straight when I tried it. I fell asleep in under an hour, so now I can only take it before bed, but it does work like a charm. You wake up refreshed, but it wears off in about 4-5 hours. Make sure you check the list of active ingredients."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine for Allergic Rhinitis "This knocked me right out. I had to have a lay down. I would definitely recommend taking at bedtime. Does the job, though. Just doesn't fix the issue, but gives a few hours of relief."
