Some formulations may also contain other ingredients like guaifenesin, a expectorant, and chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine.

Fepto products are typically recommended for short-term use and are not intended for long-term treatment of cold symptoms. It is important to follow the instructions provided on the product label and to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
