Lemsip Max Cold & Flu contains a combination of ingredients which are effective in relieving the symptoms associated with colds and flu, including relief of aches and pains, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion and lowering of temperature.
Paracetamol is a well-known painkiller (analgesic). It is effective against aches and pains, including a headache, and can also reduce a fever (antipyretic).
Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a nasal decongestant which reduces swelling in the passages of the nose, relieving nasal congestion and reducing the pressure which may cause a headache.
