Index of brand names

Listed alphabetically on these pages are the brand names of 154 widely used nonprescription cold remedies. Following the name of each preparation are its active ingredients, identified by their generic chemical names; their properties are described other posts. To use the list, first look up the name of a product and note its ingredients, then check those ingredients in the preceding table for their effects and side effects. Remember that remedies containing a number of active ingredients are not necessarily better than single-ingredient preparations; choose a product with ingredients that treat only the symptoms you suffer.
