Duotan PD Suspension


Pronunciation: dex-klor-fen-IR-a-meen/soo-doe-e-FED-rin
Generic Name: Dexchlorpheniramine/Pseudoephedrine
Brand Name: Duotan PD and Tanafed DP


Duotan PD Suspension is used for:

Relieving congestion, sneezing, runny nose, nasal or throat itching, and itchy or watery eyes caused by colds, hay fever, or other allergic conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Duotan PD Suspension is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.


Do NOT use Duotan PD Suspension if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Duotan PD Suspension

  • you are also taking droxidopa or sodium oxybate (GHB), or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

  • you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems

  • you are unable to urinate or are having an asthma attack

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

  • if you have a history of asthma, lung problems (eg, emphysema), heart problems, blood vessel problems, ulcer, blockage of the stomach or intestines, difficulty urinating, blockage of the bladder, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, seizures, stroke, glaucoma, increased pressure in the eye, high blood pressure, adrenal gland problems, an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems, or trouble sleeping

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Duotan PD Suspension. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Furazolidone, MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects, such as severe headaches, high fever, and high blood pressure, may occur

  • Digoxin or droxidopa because side effects, such as irregular heartbeat or heart attack, may occur
