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
cine contains
three

Paracetamol
is
a painkiller and reduces
your
temperature
when

hydrochloride is a decongestant which unblocks your nose
and sinuses helping you breathe more easily. Ascorbic acid
(vitamin
C) is a common ingredient of cold and flu products. It
is included to help replace vitamin C which may be lost in the
initial stages of colds and flu.
