"Tavist Sinus" that DOESN'T contain the antihistamine that you'd expect

August 1997

    Novartis is introducing a new OTC called "Tavist Sinus" that DOESN'T contain the antihistamine that you'd expect.

    Instead of Tavist (clemastine), it contains just acetaminophen and pseudoephedrine.

    Many companies extend their product line this way...using their brand name for products that DON'T contain the expected ingredient. For example, Bayer without aspirin...Mylanta without antacid...Kaopectate without attapulgite, etc.
