Hi, What is white oblong or barrel pill with a split in middle; on each side of split is A7C. Nothing on the reverse side. Thanks ## Hello, I believe I have identified your pill as Benylin day tablets (possibly from Ireland). Based on my research, each white (day) tablet contains the following active ingredients: Paracetamol (500 mg) + Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (60 mg). Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant, but it is well known for shrinking swollen nasal mucous membranes, so it is often used as a decongestant. It reduces tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion commonly associated with colds or allergies.

Can i take this antibiotic for a common cold, stuffy head, chest and throat ? Will it help? ## Hello, Mindy! How are you doing? I'm sorry that you're sick. But no, an antibiotic will not do anything to treat a cold, or alleviate cold symptoms. The common cold is actually cause by a virus, not a bacterial infection, as explained by the NIH. They also advise against taking an antibiotic, unless your doctor confirms the presence of an infection, because taking one, when it isn't needed, or won't help can cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. That could create a problem, if you develop infections in the future. Colds can really only be treated symptomatically, by taking decongestants, as long as your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with?
