Do not use Ru-Hist D if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine.

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to brompheniramine or phenylephrine.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if this medicine is safe to use if you have ever had:

  • a breathing problem such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis;

  • diabetes;

  • high blood pressure, heart disease;

  • an enlarged prostate or urination problems;

  • glaucoma; or

  • overactive thyroid.

Ask a doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 6 years without medical advice.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since cold medicine is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.

Drinking alcohol with Ru-Hist D can cause side effects.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, or sleep medicine. Many combination medicines contain brompheniramine or phenylephrine. Using certain products together can cause you to get too much of this medicine. Check the label to see if a medicine contains an antihistamine or decongestant.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

  • chest pain, fast or uneven heart rate;

  • dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, shortness of breath);
