What is Lemsip Max?

Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Capsules are medicine pills designed to help relieve the symptoms of colds and flu, such as headaches, fever, sore throat, body aches, a stuffy nose, and general discomfort. Each pill contains three active ingredients:

• Paracetamol (500mg): For pain relief and to reduce fever.
• Caffeine (25mg): Helps enhance the effectiveness of paracetamol and can also provide a mild stimulant effect.
• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (6.1mg): A decongestant that helps relieve nasal congestion from a stuffy nose.

How does Lemsip Max work?

• Caffeine boosts the effectiveness of paracetamol and can help you feel more alert.
• Phenylephrine works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose, reducing swelling and helping to clear a stuffy nose.
