Is Liquid Pseudophedrine Safe In Infants?

Hi, my 2.5 month old male has a cold. Stuffy nose and a cough. Was a dry cough, progressing to a bit phlegmy - but still mostly loose. Mild wheezing. Had regular check up, and doctor prescribed A. liquid Pseudophedrine + chlorphenarimaine and B. Terbutaline + Rhinathiol. Seems all a bit much. Is this safe for him? Effective if so? Thanks so much!

Hello,

safety and efficacy in children younger than 2 years has not been established for pseudoephedrine, rhinathiol and chlorpheniramine, so using them is not encouraged!

You can contact me if you'd like more details or clarifications. I'll be glad to help.

Kind Regards!
