Nexafed® is the only meth-resistant pseudoephedrine product that has demonstrated, using FDA testing standards, therapeutic equivalence to Sudafed®.1 No other meth-resistant product can make this claim1. Nexafed is a traditional, solid-dose white tablet.
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. If abusers try to dissolve Nexafed to extract the pseudoephedrine to make methamphetamine, the polymers will form a thick gel to block that extraction.1

Nexafed temporarily relieves nasal congestion due to the common cold, hay fever, or other upper respiratory allergies. Nexafed also helps to decongest sinus openings and passages to temporarily relieve sinus congestion and pressure, without causing drowsiness.
While Nexafed provides powerful relief from congestion due to colds and allergies with pseudoephedrine (PSE), new Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain adds acetaminophen to relieve pain and fever associated with colds and sinus headaches. Both products offer non-drowsy relief and are formulated with Impede® technology to disrupt conversion of PSE to methamphetamine.
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 reduce fever.

Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain offers a meth-resistant alternative to these products. Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain is the first meth-resistant combination PSE and acetaminophen […]
More than 10,000 pharmacies across the country carry Nexafed, and pharmacists nationwide have also begun to stock Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain, adding this combination meth-resistant PSE product to their pharmacy shelves to relieve the same symptoms as do other sinus remedies while proactively addressing the meth production issue locally.
Nexafed Sinus Pressure + Pain may be taken every 4 to 6 hours, but not to exceed 4 doses in 24 hours Take tablets with enough water to ensure complete swallowing immediately after placing in the mouth
