Colds and flu are caused by viruses that infect the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). Although they are not exactly the same, there are many similarities between them, such as fever, cough, sore throat, headache, and blocked nose. Lemsip offers a group of cold and flu relief products created to address those symptoms effectively. Browse our range of these lemon-flavoured products to boost your immunity and quickly ease discomforting symptoms.
How can Lemsip benefit your health?
Lemsip contains paracetamol which works directly on the source of pain and brings you relief. It has an antipyretic and analgesic effect while also narrowing the vessels of the nose, reducing swelling of the nasal mucous membrane, and relieving runny and blocked noses.
As a cold and flu remedy, it is designed to relieve the symptoms such as:
- Increased body temperature.
- Headache.
- Chills.
- Nasal congestion, runny nose.
- Pain in the throat and sinuses.
- Chesty cough.
- Body aches and muscle pains.
A noticeable effect occurs within 15-20 minutes of taking a Lemsip drink and can last for four to six hours.

Most people are familiar with Lemsip's original lemon-flavoured powder sachets.
