About the product
Beechams Cold & Flu Sachets are a convenient hot drink remedy for relieving the symptoms of colds and flu, such as headache, fever, sore throat, body aches, and nasal congestion. They contain paracetamol to reduce pain and fever, phenylephrine hydrochloride to ease a blocked nose, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to support general health. The powder is dissolved in hot water to create a soothing lemon-flavoured drink that provides comforting relief. Beechams Cold & Flu Sachets help you feel better while your body recovers, but they do not treat the underlying cause. They should be used as directed, and not alongside other paracetamol-containing products.
