Can I Take Another Sinus Medicine?

Hi I have a prescription for Pseudoephedrin and loratadine 10 mg, I was taking the pseudoephedrin, one pill along with the loratadine, once a day. My question is, I ran out of the Pseudoephedrin, and my sinusus are really hurting. Can i take another sinus product, although I took the pills earlier about 8am. The sinus pills are careone sinus medicine from CVS drug stores.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant. Decongestants are available in oral or topical form.

Another oral decongestant is phenylephrine.

You can either use this other oral decongestant or try a topical decongestant such as otrivine.
The topical decongestants are only used for 3 to 5 days.

I hope this helps
