Indications & Clinical Uses

Lemsip Cold & Flu Blackcurrant combines phenylephrine hydrochloride and paracetamol to address symptoms of the common cold and influenza.

  • Nasal congestion: reduces swelling of nasal passages and eases breathing.
  • Fever: lowers elevated body temperature.
  • Headache and body aches: alleviates pain and discomfort.
  • Sore throat: provides symptomatic relief of throat irritation.

How It Works

  • Phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as an α1‑adrenergic agonist, causing vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosal vessels and thereby decreasing congestion. Paracetamol inhibits central cyclo‑oxygenase activity, reducing prostaglandin synthesis which results in analgesic and antipyretic effects, helping to lower fever and relieve pain.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild stomach upset may occur.
  • Dizziness: transient light‑headedness reported.
  • Headache: occasional worsening of headache.
  • Insomnia: difficulty sleeping in some users.
  • Dry mouth: reduced salivation.
  • Mild stomach upset: occasional indigestion.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Hypertension: significant rise in blood pressure.
  • Tachycardia: rapid heart rate.
  • Liver injury: rare but serious hepatic damage.
  • Severe skin reactions: such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.
  • Cardiovascular events: rare cases of chest pain or arrhythmia.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lemsip Cold & Flu Blackcurrant, consider the following precautions.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Breastfeeding: use only if advised by a clinician.
  • Hypertension: avoid if you have high blood pressure due to phenylephrine effects.
  • Liver disease: limit use because of paracetamol metabolism.
  • Concurrent MAO inhibitors: avoid combining with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Frequently Asked Questions

Lemsip Cold & Flu Blackcurrant is an over‑the‑counter medication that combines phenylephrine hydrochloride and paracetamol to provide temporary relief of nasal congestion, fever, headache, sore throat and body aches associated with the common cold and influenza.

Phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as an α1‑adrenergic agonist. By stimulating α1 receptors on the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, it causes vasoconstriction, which reduces swelling and opens the nasal passages, helping to alleviate congestion.

The appropriate dose is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions or the label directions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using this product. Phenylephrine may affect blood pressure, and paracetamol is generally considered safe when used at recommended doses, but professional guidance is essential.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with single‑ingredient products, Lemsip combines a nasal decongestant (phenylephrine) and an analgesic‑antipyretic (paracetamol), offering broader symptom coverage in one dose. This can be more convenient than taking separate medications, though individual tolerance and contraindications should be considered.

Store Lemsip Cold & Flu Blackcurrant at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the package tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and retain it in its original container until use.

The product is taken orally, usually after dissolving the powder in hot water as directed on the label. It should be consumed with a full glass of water and not exceeded beyond the recommended frequency.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), significant increases in blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and rare cases of liver injury. Users should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, chest pain or persistent jaundice.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to phenylephrine, paracetamol or any excipients, those with uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, or who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors should avoid this product unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.
