  • What is the Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon?
    Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon is an over-the-counter remedy formulated to help relieve common cold and flu symptoms, such as headache, fever, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion. Available in convenient powder sachets, it is easily mixed with hot water to provide soothing relief.

    How does the Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon work?
    The active ingredient, paracetamol, reduces fever and alleviates pain. Additionally, the phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as a decongestant, helping to unblock a stuffy nose by reducing swelling in the nasal passages. The lemon-flavoured formula makes it easy to consume and offers comfort during illness.

  • Mixing: Pour one sachet of Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon into a mug and add hot water (not boiling). Stir until dissolved.
    Dosage: Adults and children over 16 years: Take 1 sachet every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 4 sachets in 24 hours.
    Important: Do not take more than the recommended dose. Avoid taking with other paracetamol-containing products.

  • Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon is generally well tolerated, but like all medicines, it can cause side effects.

    • Common Side Effects: Nausea, dizziness, and upset stomach.
    • Rare Side Effects: Allergic reactions such as rash or difficulty breathing.
    • Important Advice: If side effects are severe or persistent, stop use and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
