Product overview
About Lemsip Cold & Flu Lemon
The original hot lemon rescue: each Lemsip sachet delivers 650mg of paracetamol in a steaming blackout-curtains-and-duvet drink that relieves headache, sore throat, aches and fever — with the steam and warmth doing their own quiet work on a stuffy head. 10 lemon sachets.
Why a hot drink beats a tablet when you're rotten
The paracetamol treats the pain and temperature; the hot lemon treats the misery — warmth soothes a raw throat, steam loosens congestion, and the ritual itself is half the medicine when you're wrapped on the sofa. It's why Lemsip has survived every cold season since 1969.
How to take
One sachet dissolved in a mug of hot (not boiling) water, sipped while warm — honey optional and encouraged. Repeat every 4–6 hours as needed, maximum 4 sachets in 24 hours. Adults and children 12+.
The paracetamol rule
Lemsip IS paracetamol — never take it alongside tablets, capsules or any other remedy containing paracetamol. Count every source toward the 4-dose daily maximum.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take Lemsip with paracetamol tablets?
No — Lemsip contains a full paracetamol dose (650mg). Taking both risks overdose; count every paracetamol source toward a maximum of 4 doses in 24 hours.
How hot should the water be?
Hot but not boiling — boiling water scalds the flavour (and you). Stir until dissolved and sip while warm for the full soothing effect.
Can I add honey or take it with other cold remedies?
Honey, yes. Other remedies — only after checking they contain no paracetamol and no duplicate decongestant. Your pharmacist untangles combinations in seconds.
How many days can I take it?
If you still need it after 3 days of fever or a week of symptoms, or you're getting worse — see a pharmacist or GP rather than buying another box.
