BEECHAMS FLU PLUS IS USED FOR THE SHORT TERM RELIEF OF THE
SYMPTOMS OF FLU, COLDS AND CHILLS. These symptoms include
headache, shivers, aches and pains, blocked nose and painful
sinuses, catarrh and sore throat.
This medi

is included to help replace vitamin C which may be lost in the
initial stages of colds and flu.
