Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Capsules are used to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu, including headache, fever, sore throat, body aches, blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.

They contain paracetamol to relieve pain and reduce fever, phenylephrine hydrochloride to ease nasal congestion, and caffeine to help reduce tiredness and improve alertness.

These capsules are suitable for adults and young people aged 16 years and over. They are not recommended for children under 16 years unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Adults and those aged 16 years and over should take 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours as needed, ensuring you do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging.

No. Do not take Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Capsules alongside any other medicines containing paracetamol, as this may increase the risk of overdose.

If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, diabetes, or are taking medication for these conditions, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.

Like all medicines, Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Capsules can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects include nausea, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, increased blood pressure, or allergic reactions. Stop taking the medicine and seek medical advice if you experience severe side effects.
