Beechams Flu Plus Hot Lemon is an over-the-counter hot drink cold and flu remedy. It comes as a powder packaged in individual sachets. A standard box contains 10 sachets.
Each sachet contains three active ingredients:
Paracetamol (1000mg): A high-strength painkiller and fever reducer.
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (10mg): A nasal decongestant to unblock a stuffy nose.
Vitamin C / Ascorbic Acid (100mg): To help replace lost vitamin C during a cold or flu.
Mixed into hot water, adults and teenagers aged 16 and over take it for the fast relief of heavy cold and flu symptoms, including high fever, body aches, headaches, sore throat, and nasal congestion.
Beechams Flu Plus Hot Lemon combines three targeted ingredients into a comforting warm drink:
Relieves Pain & Lowers Fever: The full 1000mg dose of Paracetamol quickly lowers high fever temperatures and calms severe muscle aches, headaches, and sore throat pain.
Unblocks Airways: Phenylephrine shrinks swollen blood vessels inside your nasal passages, helping clear clogged sinuses and making it easier to breathe.
Comforting Warmth: Drinking the warm lemon liquid helps soothe a raw throat, hydrates your body, and opens up congested nasal passages with steam.
🚨 Critical Safety Warning: Each sachet contains a full 1000mg dose of Paracetamol.
Do NOT take any other paracetamol-containing medicines (like extra paracetamol tablets, cough syrups, or other flu drinks) while using this product.
Taking too much paracetamol can cause severe, irreversible liver damage.
Blood Pressure and Heart Notice: Do NOT use this product if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, an overactive thyroid, or severe kidney problems without speaking to a doctor, as phenylephrine can raise blood pressure.
Depression Medicines (MAOIs): Do not take if you are currently taking or have taken MAOI antidepressant medicines in the last 14 days.
Age Limit: Suitable strictly for adults and teenagers aged 16 years and older. Do not give to children under 16.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Amount: Mix 1 sachet into a mug of hot (not boiling) water. Stir until dissolved and drink while warm.
Frequency: Take 1 sachet every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do NOT take more than 4 sachets in any 24-hour period.
Duration Limit: Do not use for more than 5 days continuously without consulting a doctor.
Beechams Flu Plus is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience:
Mild dizziness, headache, or feeling slightly restless or jittery.
Mild stomach upset or dry mouth.
Slightly elevated blood pressure or a racing heartbeat.
Difficulty sleeping if taken late at night (due to the decongestant).
Will Beechams Flu Plus Hot Lemon make me drowsy?
No. It does not contain drowsy antihistamines, so it will not make you feel sleepy or groggy.
Can I sweeten the drink if it tastes too tart?
Yes. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a spoon of honey or sugar to your mug once the powder has dissolved in hot water.
How should I store this product safely?
Keep the sachets sealed inside their original cardboard box in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from steam and kitchen moisture, and keep completely out of reach of children.
