How to take actifed: 2 or 3 times a day ? if there' s a runny nose (cold symptoms )
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3x daily short time: Actifed should be taken every 8 hrs to have the most effect on runny nose. That is appropriate if you have hay fever. If you have runny nose from other conditions see your doctor before taking actifed. And actifed should not be used for more than 4-5 days.
