  • guaifenesin (as an expectorant) dilutes the secretion, which helps relieve chest cough;
  • phenylephrine hydrochloride (nasal decongestant) reduces swelling of the nasal passages and thus relieves nasal congestion.

You should only use Vicks Anti-Influenza Complex if you have pain and / or fever, nasal congestion and whooping cough.
