Beechams Night / Day Nurse

Ive found this blog whilst researching the side affects of taking night nurse because I took it last night and feel absolutely dreadful today! I have been suffering from a bad cold and sleepless nights due to coughing since Monday (now Thurs) I was really suffering yesterday and bought this (capsule form - took 2 as suggested) in the hope that I could get through the night without waking but I woke up anyway feeling really weird and light headed. I fell back asleep but its now 1pm and i feel like I drank 6 pints of stella last night. Im so ...  Read the complete review

Having suffered more than usual with colds last year, I decided to finally heed a friend's advice and buy this stuff. Now I almost want to have another cold so I can be smug about it again. This stuff works. Really well. I'm talking about the combined Day and Night Nurse in capsule form, not the Day Nurse (liquid or capsules) or the Night Nurse (again, comes in either form). The capsules come in three blister packs, one for each day, each pack contains 8 capsules (4 doses) and these are handily marked Morning, Lunchtime, Afternoon and Nighttime. The orange and white Day capsules contain paracetamol (to reduce temperature and fever), ...  Read the complete review

I have never been as ill as I have this year - from sickness to sore eyes and jaw (apparently stress related!) I've had it all It seems - but I have managed to avoid any colds...until now! I woke up Sunday morning and felt like I was swallowing razor blades, so painful that I could hardly eat anything. Now that IS bad, if I can't eat anything! By Sunday night I could hardly sleep, my nose was blocked and I couldn't even sip water. Desperately wanting my mum to look after me I had a very sleepless night. Strepsil type sweets did not work, and so the next morning I headed to boots to see what could alleviate my pain.... ***The pain ...  Read the complete review

Fortunately, I haven't been unwell for a while, but I am a big fan of this product, and always ensure I have some at the back of my medication drawer. Night nurse is a fantastic medication to take if you are unfortunate enough to be hit by the lurgies. WHAT IS IT FOR? I personally only use it when I have a bad cold (also known as a flu-like illness, or man-flu to most women!) The box claims that it is useful for the relief of tickly cough, shivers, aches and pains, runny nose, sore throat pain and headache. It probably works for all of the above other than the cough as there isn't much evidence for medications helping with cough. HOW ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I start with anything remotely resembling the flu I head straight for a bottle of Nightnurse. Unfortunately in a fit of laziness it appeared that I hadn’t bought another bottle after the last one had run out so a quick journey to the chemist later I emerged with 10 Nightnurse Capsules for £3.15 (they didn’t have any bottles left). The packaging is green and blue and is easily identified by the shiny green cross on the front. Nightnurse claim to have been specially formulated as a night time products to provide relief from Headaches, shivers, aches, pain, tickly and dry coughs and actual throat pain. It’s a common belief that Nightnurse contains ...  Read the complete review
