About Beechams
Beechams is one of the UK's best-known names in cold and flu relief, with a heritage stretching back generations. The range sits within our Medicines & Treatments category and is designed to help you manage the aches, congestion, sore throat and fever that come with seasonal colds and flu. Each product targets several symptoms at once, so you can find relief from a single medicine.
This collection spans Beechams All in One, available as both a 160ml liquid and 16-tablet packs, alongside Cold & Flu Honey and Lemon sachets for a soothing hot drink. For heavier flu symptoms, Beechams Flu Plus comes as Caplets and as Hot Lemon sachets, giving you the choice between tablets and a comforting warm remedy. Whether you prefer a liquid, a caplet or a sachet, there is a format to suit how you like to take your medicine.
Because the right medicine depends on your symptoms and anything else you are already taking, it is worth checking the active ingredients before you choose. Browse the Beechams range below, dispatched from our UK pharmacy. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use, and speak to your pharmacist or GP if symptoms persist or worsen.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take ibuprofen with Beechams All in One?
Beechams All in One contains paracetamol alongside other active ingredients, so the key thing to avoid is taking a second product that also contains paracetamol at the same time. Ibuprofen is a different type of painkiller, but you should still check the label and ask your pharmacist before combining any medicines. If your symptoms are severe or do not improve, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Can you take Beechams Powders with paracetamol?
Before combining any Beechams product with paracetamol, check the active ingredients on the label so you do not accidentally double up on the same medicine. Because formulations differ, it is best to ask your pharmacist whether the two are safe to take together. Always read the label and patient information leaflet, and seek medical help if your symptoms get worse.
What is Beechams All in One used for?
Beechams All in One is a multi-symptom medicine that helps relieve common cold and flu symptoms such as a blocked nose, headache, sore throat, aches and fever. It is available as a 160ml liquid and as tablets, so you can pick the format you prefer. Follow the dose on the label and patient information leaflet, and speak to a pharmacist if you are unsure whether it is right for you.
What is the difference between Beechams All in One and Beechams Flu Plus?
Both are cold and flu medicines, but they contain different combinations of active ingredients aimed at slightly different symptom profiles. Flu Plus is geared towards the stronger aches, pains and fever associated with flu, while All in One covers a broad range of everyday cold and flu symptoms. Check the label of each to see which suits your symptoms, or ask your pharmacist for guidance.
How do I use Beechams Cold & Flu Honey and Lemon sachets?
The sachets are dissolved in hot water to make a soothing warm drink that helps ease cold and flu symptoms. Follow the preparation and dose instructions on the label and patient information leaflet. Always read the label, and ask your pharmacist if you have any questions.
Does Beechams come as a hot drink?
Yes. Beechams Cold & Flu Honey and Lemon and Beechams Flu Plus Hot Lemon are both sachet products that you mix with hot water for a comforting warm remedy. If you would rather take tablets or caplets, Beechams All in One Tablets and Flu Plus Caplets are also available in this range.
Which Beechams product is best for flu?
Beechams Flu Plus, available as Caplets and Hot Lemon sachets, is formulated to help with flu symptoms such as fever, aches and pains. The best choice depends on your individual symptoms and whether you prefer a caplet or a hot drink, so read the label to compare or ask your pharmacist. Seek medical help if symptoms are severe, last more than a few days, or you feel worried.
Can children take Beechams cold and flu medicines?
Many cold and flu medicines are only suitable for adults and older children, and the recommended age varies between Beechams products. Always check the label and patient information leaflet for the minimum age before use. Speak to your pharmacist or GP before giving any medicine to a child.
Can I take Beechams if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should get advice before taking any cold or flu medicine, as not all ingredients are suitable. Speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist before using any Beechams product. Always read the label and patient information leaflet first.
