I have a man cold and taking my usual bowl of chicken soup washed down with a Lemsip Max but now I’m thinking… if the main ingrediant of a Lemsip is paracetamol, why don’t I just have a paracetamol? It’d cost alot less.
Whats the point of a Lemsip other than the paracetamol?
Thank you.
Now that you’ve read this, you now have a cold sorry thats just how this one works.
For those in North America
paracetamol = acetaminophen (Tylenol)
paracetamol, caffeine, phenylephrine hydrochloride
The last one is a decongestant.
So take your paracetamol with a cup of coffee and you’re quids in.
What exactly is a “man cold?”
Somewhere south of “man flu” but north of “the sniffles”
It’s just nice. The hot lemon helps more than the paracetemol for me so sometimes I just make squash with hot water and it’s not too different.
Yes, as others have said, it’s paracetamol with some other stuff.
Something I’ve not seen mentioned yet however is to please be mindful that these do contain it and try to not take additional paracetamol (say, in tablet form) without watching your dose. Paracetamol overdose leads to some very nasty effects. Be careful not to exceed the daily dose of paracetamol, as stated in the product insert.
