1. WHAT BEECHAMS FLU PLUS DOES
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 medicine contains 
three active ingredients. Paracetamol is a painkiller and
reduces 
your temperature when you have a fever. Phenylephrine 
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.
