Lemsip Max Day Night Cold & Flu Relief - 16 Capsules

 

You can manage your cold and flu symptoms around the clock with this dual-action treatment system. The pack contains separate day and night formulations designed to target different symptoms at appropriate times. Day capsules help you stay alert whilst managing congestion and pain, while night capsules include ingredients to help you rest.

This medicine provides targeted relief from multiple cold and flu symptoms including headaches, body aches, fever, and nasal congestion. Each pack contains 16 capsules - 8 for daytime use and 8 for nighttime use, giving you up to 4 days of treatment when used as directed.

 

How This Dual Formula System Works

 

The day capsules contain paracetamol for pain and fever relief, plus phenylephrine to reduce nasal congestion without causing drowsiness. This combination allows you to function normally during the day whilst managing your symptoms effectively.

Night capsules contain paracetamol for continued pain and fever relief, combined with diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that causes drowsiness to help you sleep. This dual approach ensures you get appropriate symptom relief matched to your daily needs.

 

Who Should Consider This Treatment

 

This medicine suits adults and children over 16 years who experience multiple cold and flu symptoms that interfere with both day and night activities. You may find this particularly helpful if you need to maintain daily routines whilst managing your illness.

The lemsip max day night system works well for people who experience:

  • Headaches and body aches from cold or flu
  • Fever that needs round-the-clock management
  • Nasal congestion affecting breathing
  • Difficulty sleeping due to cold symptoms

If you're looking for additional symptom relief options, you might also consider browsing our cold and flu collection for complementary treatments.

 

Why Choose Separate Day and Night Formulations

 

Using different formulations for day and night ensures you receive appropriate symptom management without unwanted effects at the wrong time. Daytime capsules avoid sedating ingredients that could impair your ability to work or drive safely.

The nighttime formulation includes diphenhydramine specifically to promote rest, which is crucial for recovery from viral infections. This targeted approach means you're not taking unnecessary ingredients or missing out on beneficial ones based on the time of day.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

Store this medicine below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep capsules in their original packaging until use to protect them from moisture and light exposure.

Check the expiry date before use and do not take capsules past this date. The separate day and night packaging helps you track your usage pattern and ensures you're taking the correct formulation at the appropriate time.

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 Adults

Take one day capsule every 4-6 hours during daytime as needed, with a maximum of 4 day capsules in 24 hours. Swallow capsules whole with water and do not exceed the stated dose. Leave at least 4 hours between doses and do not take more than 4 doses in any 24-hour period.

Evening and Bedtime Administration

Take one night capsule 30 minutes before bedtime, or when you're ready to sleep. You can take a maximum of 2 night capsules in 24 hours, with at least 6 hours between doses. Do not drive or operate machinery after taking night capsules as they contain diphenhydramine which causes drowsiness. Ensure you can dedicate 7-8 hours to sleep after taking a night capsule.
