Product overview
About Lemsip Max Lemon
The hot-drink cold remedy at full strength: each sachet carries 1000mg of paracetamol for fever, headache, aches and sore throat plus phenylephrine to unblock the nose, in a classic hot lemon drink that soothes on the way down. The 10-sachet box sees a household through a winter cold. Adults and children 16 and over.
Why the Max
Standard Lemsip is 650mg of paracetamol per sachet; Max is a full 1000mg dose, the same as two tablets, so one drink does the job of a painkiller and a decongestant together, and the steam and warmth do their own bit for a stuffy head.
How to take
Ages 16+: dissolve one sachet in a mug of hot water and drink. Repeat every four to six hours if needed, no more than four sachets in 24 hours, for up to five days. Leave four hours between paracetamol doses of any kind.
Good to know
Contains paracetamol: don't take with any other paracetamol product. The phenylephrine makes it unsuitable with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma or MAOI antidepressants. Contains aspartame. Also in a 5-sachet pack and honey and ginger.

Can I take it with ibuprofen?
