A cold can start spreading from before the infected person starts to experience symptoms and the person remains infectious until the symptoms have finished. The best methods to avoid catching a cold are to maintain good hand hygiene, not sharing towels or household items with someone who is suffering with a cold and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

The EMA’s decision drew on results from the Alpho study, which found that the risk of NMBA-related anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction to NMBAs, was four times greater when patients had taken pholcodine. This medicine contains sugars and alcohol. Seek advice from your doctor if you have an intolerance to some sugars, are/have suffered from alcoholism, epilepsy or liver disease. Contains alcohol and therefore may impair ability to drive or operate machines. If affected do not drive or use machines. A cough usually clears up within three to four weeks. You can treat it with other cough medicines or hot lemon and honey (not suitable for babies under one year old). Rest up if possible and you can try paracetamol or ibuprofen, if suitable, to treat any pain. If your cough persists for longer than three to four weeks seek advice from a healthcare professional. Beechams Flu Plus Caplets also use vegan friendly ingredients, which is good news in cold and flu season.
