Full details
Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon Sachets are designed for adults and children aged 16 and over experiencing cold and flu symptoms. They offer fast relief from headaches, body aches, sore throat, fever, and nasal congestion with a soothing lemon flavor. A key benefit is the combination of paracetamol for pain and fever relief. However, it's important to note that these sachets are for symptomatic relief only and do not treat the underlying cause of the illness.
