Beechams All-in-One is a product for the short term relief of the symptoms of colds, chills and influenza. These symptoms include headache, shivers, aches, and pains, blocked nose and sinuses and a chesty, productive cough.

How does Beechams All in One work?

Paracetamol is an analgesic (a pain killer), and antipyretic (it reduces body temperature when you have a fever). Guaiphenesin is an expectorant which loosens phlegm and relieves a chesty cough. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic decongestant which unblocks your nose and sinuses helping you breathe more easily.


Important

Remember : Beechams All in One contains paracetamol, and a decongestant; do not take with any other products for the relief of flu, colds and congestion or with any other paracetamol-containing products, or with alcohol.

Do not take Beechams All in One if :

* You are allergic to paracetamol, guaiphenesin, phenylephrine hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients listed above.

* You have kidney or liver problems, overactive thyroid, diabetes or are under the care of your doctor for high blood pressure or heart disease.

* You are taking drugs prescribed by your doctor or hospital for depression (including monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOI's), or for heart problems (including beta-blockers and anticoagulants e.g. warfarin).

Side Effects :

The ingredients in Beechams All in One are usually well-tolerated in normal use. However skin rashes and other allergic effects occur occasionally with paracetamol. In all the years that paracetamol has been used, a few people have developed blood disorders after frequent excessive use of paracetamol. Upset tummy may occur with guaiphenesin. There have been a few reports of headache, dizziness, upset tummy (sickness and diarrhoea) or palpitations occurring with phenylephrine. These effects should go away if you stop taking the medicine. If you are concerned about any other effect while taking Beechams All in One, stop taking the medicine and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.


Caution

If you take too much :

It will be harmful to take more than the doses stated on the pack and in the leaflet. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
