"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 "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."

"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 "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 "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."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine "I have used this for years. It is the only OTC allergy medication that gives me relief, but it does cause drowsiness."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine "This is the very best drug I've found for frequent attacks of runny nose and sneezing. As an antihistamine, it's very fast acting. It can be scored in half or used whole."

Pseudoephedrine / triprolidine "Very effective for treating respiratory allergy symptoms and congestion. But the side effect of prostate swelling limits its use."
