Taking compound pseudoephedrine hydrochloride sustained-release capsules may cause drowsiness. If a patient has an underlying medical condition and is physically weak, and requires this medication to control symptoms, the drug will exert its therapeutic effect in the body to alleviate those symptoms—this may result in drowsiness, which is considered a normal response.
