Lemsip Max All In One Wild Berry And Hot Orange (Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, Guaifenesin, Paracetamol)

Lemsip Max All In One Wild Berry And Hot Orange combines phenylephrine, guaifenesin and paracetamol to address common cold and flu symptoms.

• Nasal congestion: reduces swelling of nasal passages to improve airflow.
• Cough: loosens mucus to facilitate expectoration.
• Fever: lowers elevated body temperature.
• Headache: alleviates pain associated with sinus pressure.
• Sore throat: eases discomfort and inflammation.
• Sinus pressure: helps relieve blocked sinuses and associated pain.

• Phenylephrine Hydrochloride acts as an alpha‑adrenergic agonist causing vasoconstriction of nasal mucosa, which diminishes congestion. Guaifenesin increases airway fluid secretion and reduces mucus viscosity, promoting clearance of sputum. Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects through central inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing pain and fever. The combined actions target multiple pathways involved in cold and flu symptomatology.
