I have a man cold and taking my usual bowl of chicken soup washed down with a Lemsip Max but now I’m thinking… if the main ingrediant of a Lemsip is paracetamol, why don’t I just have a paracetamol? It’d cost alot less.

Whats the point of a Lemsip other than the paracetamol?

Thank you.

Now that you’ve read this, you now have a cold sorry thats just how this one works.

      And if you have heart issues, know that pseudoephedrine is a stimulant (as well as caffeine of course).

        Also if you're on ADHD meds, which are also stimulants.

        That was one jitery mess of a day, let me tell you.

        I knew they were both stimulants, but I didn't stop to make the mental connection. All bunged up, sudafed, wait wtf why am I so ah fuck.

      Or actifed, that one is OTC in my country, though expect to sleep due to the added tripolidine.

        The last time I saw actifed otc here was the 90s and I'm not doing math or remembering that the last decade actually occurred
