Product overview
About Lemsip Max Capsules (8 pack)
The day-pack of Lemsip's swallow-and-go formula: paracetamol for fever, headache, sore throat and aches; phenylephrine for the blocked nose; caffeine to cut the fog — eight capsules, which is two days of doses to carry a cold's worst stretch. No kettle, no sachet, no taste.
When the small pack is the right pack
Colds peak for a day or two — the 8-pack covers exactly that without leaving half a box to expire. Commuters and travellers: this is the one for the bag.
How to take
Adults and children 16+: two capsules up to four times daily with water, at least four hours apart, maximum 8 capsules in 24 hours. No other paracetamol products alongside — ever.
Good to know
The decongestant isn't for high blood pressure, heart disease or MAOI users — our pharmacist can point to alternatives. A flu that's worsening after a week needs a GP, not another packet.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take these with Lemsip sachets?
No — both are full paracetamol doses. One paracetamol product at a time, 4 hours between doses, always.
8 or 16 pack?
The 8 covers a cold's two worst days on the move; the 16 is the medicine-cabinet stock. Same capsules.
Who should skip the decongestant?
High blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma or MAOI antidepressants — ask our pharmacist for a suitable alternative.
