Lemsip Cold & Flu Headcold (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain and fever. This central action lowers the perception of pain and helps normalize body temperature without significant anti‑inflammatory activity.

The appropriate dose is determined by a healthcare professional or the product label. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions or the dosing information provided on the packaging, and should not exceed the maximum daily amount.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding when used at recommended doses, but a clinician should be consulted before use. The prescriber can assess individual risk factors and advise whether the product is appropriate for the specific situation.

The product’s active ingredient, paracetamol, offers analgesic and antipyretic effects without the anti‑inflammatory activity of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen. For patients who need pain and fever relief but must avoid NSAID‑related gastric or cardiovascular risks, paracetamol‑based formulations like Lemsip may be preferred.

Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children. No refrigeration is required.

The product is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed unless the label specifically permits it. Follow the dosing schedule indicated on the packaging or by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome), anaphylaxis, and liver injury, especially when taken in excess or combined with other hepatotoxic substances. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice rash, jaundice, dark urine, or unexplained fatigue.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol, those who have taken another paracetamol‑containing product within the past 24 hours, or patients with severe liver disease should avoid this medication. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential for anyone with underlying medical conditions.
