1. What this medicine is and what
it is used for
This medicine contains:
•
paracetamol which is a pain reliever
(analgesic) and helps reduce your temperature
when you have a fever
•
phenylephrine which is a decongestant to
reduce swelling in the passages of the nose
to help you breathe more easily.
The Day capsules also contain:
•
caffeine which helps to increase the pain relief
from paracetamol and makes you more alert.
These capsules are used for the relief of the
symptoms of colds and flu, including aches and
pains, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion
(blocked nose) and feverishness (high
temperature). The Day capsules can also relieve
tiredness and drowsiness.
