Lemsip Max Cold Flu Capsules contains a combination of ingredients which are effective in relieving the symptoms associated with colds and flu, including relief of aches and pains, sore throats, headache, fatigue and drowsiness, nasal congestion and lowering of temperature. Paracetamol is a well-known painkiller (analgesic). It is effective against aches and pains, including a headache, and can also reduce a fever (antipyretic). Phenylephrine hydrochloride (nasal decongestant) reduces swelling in the passages of the nose, relieving nasal congestion and reducing the pressure which may cause a headache. Caffeine (a mild stimulant), helps relieve fatigue and drowsiness through the day. How to take this medicine The capsules should be swallowed whole with water. Do not chew.
