Only Nexafed utilizes MainPointe’s Impede® technology, a unique polymer matrix, which incorporates inactive ingredients to significantly disrupt the extraction and conversion of pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine.

Nexafed® is the only meth-resistant pseudoephedrine product that is just as fast and effective as other commonly used pseudoephedrine products, such as Sudafed®, using FDA bioequivalence testing standards.2 No other meth-resistant products meet these standards.

Methamphetamine can be produced relatively easily by combining household chemical ingredients with common over-the-counter cold medicines, such as pseudoephedrine.

Nexafed is available as an immediate-release oral tablet.

The active ingredients in Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain are pseudoephedrine HCl, which helps alleviate nasal congestion due to the common cold or seasonal allergies and acetaminophen, which helps relieve pain and/or reduce fever.
