It also has a phenylephrine which clears blocked nose and stuff.
It doesn’t actually work.
Comment on Is a Lemsip Max just a paracetamol?

If you don’t have a sufficiently stuffed nose, paracetamol is cheapet.

Except that phenylephrine has been shown by multiple studies not to have any effect. It’s only there as a replacement for pseudoephedrine, which does work, but can be used to make meth.

Phenylephrine has been proven to not work when ingested orally (nasal spray delivery was not part of the study).
So Paracetamol is not only cheaper, it’s the exact same therapeutic effect.

Thanks for catching that. I am not familiar with this product, so just went with the described contents. Frustrating that it is legal to sell.
