What this medicine is for
This pack contains two types of capsule both containing Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. The Day capsules are to lake during the daytime. The Night capsules are to take at bedtime only. Paracetamol is a painkiller that also helps reduce fever. Phenylephrine Hydrochloride is a decongestant, which helps to relieve a blocked up nose. In addition, the capsule that you take in the daytime contains Caffeine, which helps relieve tiredness associated with colds and flu. Caffeine helps increase the pain relief effect of paracetamol.
This medicine can be used to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu including aches and pains, sore throat, headache, blocked nose and fever during the day and night. It can also help to relieve tiredness and drowsiness during the day.
