Indications & Clinical Uses

Lemsip Max Daytime Cold & Flu Relief combines analgesic, antipyretic and decongestant actions to address common cold and flu manifestations.

  • Headache: provides temporary relief of mild to moderate headache associated with cold or flu.
  • Fever: lowers elevated body temperature caused by viral infection.
  • Nasal congestion: reduces swelling of nasal passages to improve airflow.
  • Sinus pressure: alleviates pressure and discomfort in the sinus cavities.
  • General cold/flu symptoms: eases overall discomfort such as sore throat and body aches.

How It Works

  • Paracetamol inhibits central cyclooxygenase activity, lowering prostaglandin synthesis to reduce pain and fever. Phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as an α1‑adrenergic agonist, causing vasoconstriction of nasal mucosal vessels and decreasing congestion. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and potentiates the analgesic effect of paracetamol, enhancing overall symptom relief.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild stomach upset may occur.
  • Headache: occasional rebound headache.
  • Dizziness: transient light‑headedness.
  • Insomnia: difficulty sleeping due to caffeine.
  • Increased heart rate: mild tachycardia.
  • Stomach discomfort: mild abdominal pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Severe hypertension: sudden rise in blood pressure.
  • Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heartbeat.
  • Anaphylaxis: life‑threatening systemic reaction.
  • Liver injury: signs of hepatic dysfunction.
  • Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lemsip Max Daytime Cold & Flu Relief, consider the following precautions.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Breastfeeding: use only if advised by a clinician.
  • Cardiovascular disease: caution due to phenylephrine’s vasoconstrictive effect.
  • Liver impairment: limit total paracetamol intake and monitor liver function.
  • Drug interactions: avoid concurrent use of other phenylephrine or high‑dose paracetamol products.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • MAO inhibitors: risk of hypertensive crisis.

  • High‑dose paracetamol (>4 g/day): increased risk of liver toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihypertensive drugs: phenylephrine may reduce their efficacy.
  • SSRIs or SNRIs: potential for increased bleeding risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lemsip Max Daytime Cold & Flu Relief is an over‑the‑counter oral powder designed to temporarily relieve common cold and flu symptoms such as headache, fever, nasal congestion, sinus pressure and general discomfort in adults.

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production in the brain. This action helps to alleviate headache and lower elevated body temperature associated with viral infections.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional or according to the product label. Users should follow the instructions provided on the packaging or by their clinician and not exceed the recommended amount.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before using this product. The safety profile depends on the stage of pregnancy, lactation status, and any underlying health conditions.

Enquiries can be submitted via the product page on 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 analgesics, Lemsip Max combines paracetamol, phenylephrine and caffeine, offering simultaneous pain relief, fever reduction and nasal decongestion. This multi‑symptom approach can be more convenient than taking separate products, though individual tolerance and contraindications must be considered.

Store the sachets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in their original packaging. Keep them away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product stability and potency.

The powder is dissolved in a cup of hot water as directed on the label, then consumed orally. It should be taken with food or a full glass of water if gastrointestinal irritation occurs.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or breathing difficulty, severe hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and potential liver injury from excessive paracetamol intake. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop.

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