Cold & Flu Nurse All in One Capsules 16

What is Cold & Flu Nurse All in One Capsules 16?

Cold and Flu Nurse All in One Capsules are a combination medicine for the symptoms of colds and flu: aches and pains, headache, chills, a blocked nose, a sore throat and a chesty cough. Each capsule contains paracetamol, guaifenesin and phenylephrine. They are for adults and young people aged 16 and over.

How does it help?

Paracetamol eases pain and helps bring down a raised temperature. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus on the chest so it is easier to cough up. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that reduces swelling in the lining of the nose to help you breathe more easily. The dose is two capsules every four hours as needed, up to a maximum of eight capsules in 24 hours.

Key benefits

• Three ingredients in one capsule for several cold and flu symptoms at once
• An expectorant to help loosen a chesty cough
• A decongestant to help clear a blocked nose
• Two capsules every four hours as needed, with a clear daily maximum

Who should take care?

Always read the patient information leaflet before use. Not for anyone under 16 unless a doctor advises it, and do not take it for more than 5 days in a row without medical advice. Do not take it with any other medicine containing paracetamol, with other decongestants, or with a cough suppressant. Do not take it if you have high blood pressure or heart disease, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, phaeochromocytoma, closed-angle glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, or liver or severe kidney problems, or if you take a beta-blocker or a tricyclic antidepressant, or have taken an MAOI antidepressant in the last two weeks.
