...got me a box of Beechams All in One. When I opened the box I thought it was going to be a bottle with a dainty little plastic spoon, I was well wrong. To my surprise the contents were six 20ml plastic pouches with the medicine inside ready to take. So I took one straightway, I tore the tab from the top of the pouch and swallowed the contents. It tastes absolutely disgusting and to be honest nearly put me off from taking the rest which you're supposed ...
...a few your mouth does tend to adjust and you get to the stage where you just ignore it anyway. I was surprised at how quick it actually kicked in as other well known remedies such as Lemsip fails on me completely, to which I avoid that now. Intrigued I got the box and read the side of it. The main ingredient in this stuff is Paracetamol. Each dose contains a single dose equivalent to a single tablet. This helps in numbing the nerve endings around ...

No More Fever

Advantages: It Really Works
Disadvantages: I Didn't Notice Anything

I don't like being sick, but diseases like me. when I came to London this summer, it was a little too "cold" for me. So I had to take something to make me stay well. In Italy we have kind of caplets called "Tachipirina", that contain paracetamol as active principle. So I decided to buy those caplets. They promised to cure Fever, Aches and pains, sinus pain, blocked nose, headache, and to be not drowsy. I found out that them were just perfect ...

Afew days ago my boyfriend suffered from the flu and was struggling to over come it. i went out to ASDA to see what i could get from the chemist, she recommended Beechems all in one tablets as they claimed that they would fix headaches, blocked noses, sore throat and a chesty cough and them being non- drowsy.

Beechams Powders

Advantages: Keeps your cold at bay
Disadvantages: doesnt disolve fully

...always reach for my trusted Beechams Powders. i hate taking all those decongestants as they always make me feel drowsy, even the non-drowsy ones. These have a pleasant taste, even though the powders dont always disolve fully. I was worried at first as i thought the taste would be horrible and i wouldnt be able to take the whole drink. But you dont need too much water and it really doesnt taste that bad. Actually the flavour somehow soothes your ...
..."not being able to taste anything" side-effect of a cold. It also smells pleasant. This product doesnt totally get rid of your cold, but it seems to eleviate those horrible feeling that go with a cold (aches, fever,shivers, runny nose etc.) It seems to dry up my runny nose and i manage to keep going throughout the cold, as i cant afford to spend a day in bed. They are convenient, reasonably priced and, ladies, they help with period pains too. ...
