Day Nurse Tablets for Daytime Cold and Flu Relief

 

You can manage your cold and flu symptoms during the day with Day Nurse Tablets from Haleon. This medicine contains three active ingredients that work together to help relieve multiple symptoms whilst allowing you to continue with your daily activities. Each pack contains 18 tablets designed to provide daytime symptom relief without causing drowsiness.

The formulation targets common cold and flu symptoms including nasal congestion, headaches, body aches, and fever. You can take these tablets during the day when you need to remain alert and functional whilst managing your symptoms.

 

How Day Nurse Tablets Work to Relieve Your Symptoms

 

The three active ingredients in Day Nurse Tablets each target different aspects of cold and flu symptoms. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and relieve headaches and body aches. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride acts as a decongestant to help clear blocked nasal passages and sinuses. Pholcodine works as a cough suppressant to help reduce dry, irritating coughs.

These ingredients work together to provide comprehensive symptom relief whilst being formulated specifically for daytime use. The medicine helps you manage your symptoms without the sedating effects found in some nighttime cold remedies.

 

Who Should Consider Day Nurse Tablets

 

Day Nurse Tablets are suitable for adults and children over 16 years who are experiencing cold and flu symptoms during the day. You may find this medicine particularly helpful if you need to continue working or carrying out daily activities whilst managing your symptoms. The tablets are designed for people who want effective symptom relief without drowsiness.

This medicine is appropriate for you if you experience:

  • Blocked or congested nose and sinuses
  • Headaches and body aches associated with colds and flu
  • Dry, tickly coughs that interfere with daily activities
  • Fever and general discomfort from cold and flu symptoms

If you're looking for additional symptom management options, you can explore our cold and flu collection for complementary treatments.

 

Why Choose Non-Drowsy Daytime Relief

 

The day nurse tablets formulation is specifically designed to avoid ingredients that cause drowsiness, making it suitable for use when you need to remain alert. This allows you to continue with work, driving, and other activities that require concentration whilst managing your cold and flu symptoms effectively.

Unlike nighttime cold remedies that often contain antihistamines or other sedating ingredients, Day Nurse Tablets focus on symptom relief without affecting your alertness levels during the day.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store Day Nurse Tablets in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep them in their original packaging to protect from light and moisture. Keep the tablets out of reach and sight of children at all times. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Check the packaging for any signs of damage before use and do not take tablets from damaged blister packs. The tablets should be stored in their original container until you're ready to take them.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

Recommended Dosage for Day Nurse Tablets

You should take two Day Nurse Tablets every four hours as needed for symptom relief. Do not exceed eight tablets in any 24-hour period. Take the tablets with water and you can take them with or without food, though taking them with food may help reduce any potential stomach irritation.

Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets as this may affect how the medicine works and could increase the risk of side effects.

When and How to Take Your Medicine

You can start taking Day Nurse Tablets as soon as cold and flu symptoms begin to develop. Space your doses evenly throughout the day, taking them every four hours when symptoms are present. If your symptoms improve, you can reduce the frequency or stop taking the tablets.

Do not take Day Nurse Tablets for more than seven consecutive days without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. If your symptoms persist or worsen after this time, seek medical advice as you may need alternative treatment or further investigation.

Potential Side Effects of Day Nurse Tablets

Like all medicines, Day Nurse Tablets can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. If you need additional support managing symptoms or side effects, our pain relief collection offers alternative options you can discuss with your pharmacist.

The most commonly reported side effects are generally mild and may include nausea, restlessness, or difficulty sleeping if taken too close to bedtime. Some people may experience increased heart rate or blood pressure due to the decongestant ingredient.

Known side effects that may occur include:

  • Nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Restlessness or nervousness
  • Difficulty sleeping if taken late in the day
  • Increased heart rate or palpitations
  • Headache or dizziness
  • Dry mouth
  • Loss of appetite
  • Skin rash or allergic reactions
  • Tremor or shaking
  • Constipation
  • Urinary retention or difficulty passing urine
  • Hallucinations (rare, usually with high doses)

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
