This medication may affect your thinking or reactions. Be cautious if you drive or do anything that needs you to be alert.

Drinking alcohol with Rynex PE can lead to side effects.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, or sleep medicine. Many combination medicines have brompheniramine or phenylephrine. Taking certain products together can result in getting too much of this medicine. Check the label to see if a medicine has an antihistamine or decongestant.

Using Rynex PE with other medications that cause drowsiness can increase this effect. Consult your doctor before using opioid medications, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, or medications for anxiety or seizures.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if you are taking any other medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products. Some medications can lead to unwanted or dangerous effects when taken together. Not all possible interactions are included in this medication guide.
