Advantages: Easy to swallow, Fast acting, Good relief

Disadvantages: Not enough in the box , Could be a little cheaper

I have been suffering from flu since last Friday, headache, shivers, fever, runny nose, the usual Flu symptoms! lol

I had bought Beechams Flu Plus Caplets a few weeks ago, in anticipation of falling ill, as I usually do because I have a low immune system following a childhood illness.

They are packaged in a very attractive box which is quite eye-catching. There are sixteen caplets in the box in two strips. They are very easy to swallow, and are no bigger than a pea! The box states that they provide 'rapid and effective relief from the major cold and flu symptoms in a convenient easy to swallow caplet', I cant disagree with that!

The symptoms that they work on include -

Fever
Headache
Aching limbs
Blocked nose
Sore throat pain
Painful sinuses
Shivers

Adults and children over 12 are advised to take the caplets every 4 - 6 hours, consuming no more than 8 in 24 hours. Children aged 6 to 12 should take 1 caplet every four to 6 hours, consuming no more than 4 within 24 hours. Children under six should not take any at all.

Each tablet includes -
500mg of Paracetamol
25mg Caffeine
5mg Phenylphrine Hydrochloride

For me they take about half an hour to an hour to take effect. Firstly I feel that my temperature is being reduced then my sinuses begin to clear and when I stand the dizziness dissipates. Also my aching limbs begin to feel normal again. This lasts for about 3 or 4 hours then I pop another two pills! The only problem is that during he night I wake up shivering and wanting to sneeze and then I have to take some more caplets which means I lose another hour or twos sleep! lol. I think that these are the best flu remedy I have taken and recommend you to try them when you are next ill!
