What are Night Nurse Capsules?
Night Nurse Capsules are a pharmacy medicine designed to provide effective relief from the symptoms of colds and flu during the night. The capsules combine three active ingredients—paracetamol, promethazine, and dextromethorphan—to reduce fever, aches, sore throats, and coughing, allowing for a restful night's sleep.
How do Night Nurse Capsules work?
The paracetamol in Night Nurse reduces fever and alleviates aches and pains. Promethazine is an antihistamine that helps relieve runny nose and sneezing while also promoting sleep. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that helps reduce coughing, making it easier to sleep through the night.
