Night Nurse Capsules for Cold and Flu Relief

 

You can rely on Night Nurse capsules to help manage your cold and flu symptoms whilst you sleep. This GSK medicine combines three active ingredients to tackle multiple symptoms simultaneously, allowing your body to rest and recover during the night.

Each capsule contains paracetamol for pain relief and fever reduction, promethazine hydrochloride as an antihistamine to dry up runny noses, and dextromethorphan hydrobromide to suppress troublesome coughs. This combination helps you get the restorative sleep you need when feeling unwell.

 

How Night Nurse Capsules Work

 

The three active ingredients work together to address different aspects of cold and flu symptoms. Paracetamol reduces your temperature and eases aches and pains, whilst the antihistamine component helps dry up nasal secretions and has a sedating effect to promote sleep.

The cough suppressant ingredient works on your brain's cough centre to reduce the urge to cough, helping prevent sleep disruption. This multi-symptom approach means you can address several uncomfortable symptoms with one medicine, making it easier to rest through the night.

 

Who Can Use Night Nurse Capsules

 

These capsules are suitable for adults and children over 12 years who are experiencing multiple cold and flu symptoms, particularly when these symptoms are disrupting sleep. You should consider this medicine if you're dealing with several symptoms at once rather than just one isolated problem.

Night Nurse capsules are particularly helpful for people who experience:

  • Persistent coughing that prevents sleep
  • Fever combined with aches and pains
  • Runny nose alongside other cold symptoms
  • Multiple symptoms that worsen at bedtime

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

 

Why Choose Night Nurse for Evening Relief

 

The sedating properties of this medicine make it particularly suitable for evening use, as it can help you fall asleep despite feeling unwell. Unlike some daytime cold medicines, Night Nurse is specifically formulated to work whilst you rest, allowing your body's natural healing processes to function optimally.

The convenience of addressing multiple symptoms with one medicine means you don't need to take several different products, reducing the complexity of your treatment routine when you're feeling poorly and just want to sleep.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store your Night Nurse capsules in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep the capsules in their original packaging until you're ready to use them, as this protects them from moisture and light.

Check the expiry date before use and never take capsules that have passed their expiry date. If you notice any changes in the appearance of the capsules, such as discolouration or softening, do not use them and dispose of them safely at your local pharmacy.

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 and Children Over 12

You should take two capsules at bedtime with water. Do not exceed this dose or take more frequently than once every 24 hours. The medicine is designed for evening use only due to its sedating effects, so avoid taking it during the day when you need to remain alert.

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

Important Administration Guidelines

You should not use Night Nurse capsules for more than three consecutive nights without consulting a healthcare professional. If your symptoms persist or worsen after this time, seek medical advice as you may need different treatment or further investigation.

Do not take these capsules if you have already taken the maximum daily dose of paracetamol from other sources, as this could lead to dangerous overdose. Always check other medicines you're taking to ensure they don't contain paracetamol before using Night Nurse capsules.
