What is Wal-act?

Wal-Act is a combination antihistamine and decongestant medicine that is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies or the common cold.

Wal-Act may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Do not use the medicine to make a child sleepy. Misuse of this medicine may cause death in very young children.

How should I use Wal-act

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Cold or cough medicine is only for short-term use until your symptoms clear up.

Measure liquid medicine with the supplied syringe or a dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Always follow directions on the medicine label about giving cough or cold medicine to a child. Do not use the medicine only to make a child sleepy. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicines in very young children.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash.

If you need surgery or medical tests, tell the surgeon or doctor ahead of time if you have taken this medicine within the past few days.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

  • high blood pressure, heart disease;

  • glaucoma;

  • diabetes; or

  • a thyroid disorder.

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

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since Wal-Act is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it's almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

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

What should I avoid while using Wal-act?

Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how Wal-Act will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using other cough or cold medicines that may contain similar ingredients.

Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of triprolidine.

Wal-act side effects

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

Wal-Act may cause serious side effects. Stop using Wal-Act and call your doctor at once if you have:

  • severe dizziness;

  • nervousness;

  • trouble sleeping; or

  • dizziness, drowsiness;

  • dry mouth, nose, or throat;
