Beechams Max Strength All In One – 16 Capsules

Beechams Max Strength All In One Ultra are designed to provide relief from the symptoms of colds and flu.

They also help to loosen mucus and provide you with relief from chesty coughs.

How Beechams Max Strength All In One Ultra works

Beechams Max Strength All In One Ultra contains three active ingredients: paracetamol, guaifenesin and phenylephrine hydrochloride.

Paracetamol is a painkiller that reduces your temperature when you have a fever.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by loosening phlegm and relieving a chesty cough.

Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a decongestant. It unblocks your nose and sinuses to help you breathe more easily.
