    Advantages Advantages help ease cold symptoms, seem to aid sleep

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not a cure and don't taste great

    Whenever I am struck down with a cold I always reach for the Beecham's hot drinks as I always find them very soothing when I have a cold. The drinks can be bought in various flavours including hot lemon and honey, blackcurrant and a new hot berry fruits version. For the purpose of this review I will comment on the hot lemon and honey drinks. The hot lemon and honey drinks can be bought in packs or five or ten from chemists and supermarkets. A pack of five will cost around £1.99 and a pack of ten will cost around £3.80 so it is slightly better value to purchase them in packs of ten. I would ... more

    Advantages Advantages Nice tasting, easy to make up and effective an pleasant to take

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a cure, just give temporary relief

    Just recently I have felt really run down. I've had the sneezes and a really sore throat and been going hot and cold loads. I've been taking paracetamol at regular intervals trying to combat my stiff and aching joints etc but nothing has really helped all that much really. I picked up a box of these hot drink sachets for a pound the other day in my local Poundland store and thought they may help me out and that I could take them in place of Paracetamol. The Packaging: The box is dark blue and yellow with a picture of the drink is on there and we are told that they are Beechams Cold & Flu 'Hot ... more

    Beechams Cold and Flu ~ Hot Blackcurrant Well it's sod's law isn't it ............. the sun is out, flowers are blooming and the weather is warming up nicely and what do I get ............. yes, a cold! So off I trot to the chemist with the intentions of stocking up on the tried and trusted Lemsips, as no doubt hubby will soon be coming down with this cold too, ................ er sorry, in his case the flu!! However my local chemist had no more Lemsips in stock and the assistant told me that these Beechams are just as efficient, and slightly cheaper, and after warning me not to take any other ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    The dreaded cold and flu virus is something that affects everyone from time to time, and I am no exception, in fact I seem to suffer it more often than I'd like! As a result I always have a box of Beechams Cold + Flu sachets stored in my medicine cupboard at home; as I personally find that these seem to work better than other brands on the market. Beechams Cold + Flu sachets come in a lemon yellow coloured rectangular box. The box contains ten sachets of lemon powder that you basically empty into a cup and add hot water, which once mixed looks a nice yellow colour. It is possible to add sugar ... more
