Benefits

Cold and Flu Nurse All in One Capsules provide convenient multi-symptom cold and flu relief in one medicine.
They help relieve headache, sore throat pain, general aches, chills and feverishness.
Phenylephrine helps reduce blocked nose and sinus congestion by reducing swelling in the nasal passages.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen stubborn mucus, making chesty coughs easier to clear.
Paracetamol helps relieve pain and fever, while the combination formula may reduce the need to use several separate cold and flu medicines when all three active ingredients are appropriate for your symptoms.

Stop taking the medicine and seek urgent medical attention if you develop difficulty breathing, severe swelling, a serious skin reaction or other signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before use if you have Raynaud’s phenomenon, another circulation problem, or a persistent cough associated with smoking, asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema.
Do not combine it with a cough suppressant, because guaifenesin is intended to loosen mucus so it can be cleared by coughing.
Phenylephrine may interact with medicines including digoxin and other cardiac glycosides, some blood-pressure medicines, ergot alkaloids and other sympathomimetic medicines.
