About this deal

It is thought paracetamol reduces fever by affecting an area of the brain that regulates our body temperature (the hypothalamic heat-regulating center). The paracetamol in Beechams powders capsules helps relieve aches, pains, sore throats and fever associated with colds and flu. Do not take with any other paracetamol-containing products. Do not take with other flu, cold or decongestant products. Women who are pregnant.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to treat cold and flu symptoms during pregnancy.)

Although paracetamol is considered safe for use during breastfeeding, caffeine passes into breast milk and can cause irritability and poor sleeping pattern in a nursing baby. It is not known if phenylephrine passes into breast milk, or its effect on a nursing infant. However, when taken by mouth, decongestants such as phenylephrine can temporarily decrease the production of breast milk with just one or two doses. For this reason, this medicine is best avoided by mothers who are breastfeeding. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.Unfortunately, there aren't so many own-brand or generic versions of these around, so you'll usually have to pay a premium for them.

Since this medicine contains caffeine, you should avoid drinking lots of caffeine-containing drinks, eg tea, coffee, cola, while you are taking it. Excessive caffeine consumption can cause insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, irritability, headaches and palpitations.

Beechams flu plus caplets contain three active ingredients, paracetamol (500mg), phenylephrine (5mg) and caffeine (25mg).

They might offer some comfort at the time you take them, simply by coating the throat, but they'll have little to no effect on the natural course of the infection.
