Day & Night Nurse Capsules

Day & Night Nurse Capsules provide 24 hour relief from the major symptoms of cold, flu and chills, including dry or tickly coughs, shivers, aches & pains, blocked & runny noses, headaches and sore throats.

Day Nurse Capsules contain three active ingredients to provide effective relief without causing drowsiness:
  • Paracetamol: a pain killer that also reduces your temperature when you have a fever.
  • Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride: unblocks your nose and sinuses to help you breathe better.
  • Pholcodine: a cough suppressant that helps relieve dry or tickly coughs.
Night Nurse Capsules contain a different blend of active ingredients to relieve colds and flu symptoms, as well as helping you get a good night's sleep:
  • Paracetamol: a pain killer that also reduces your temperature when you have a fever.
  • Promethazine hydrochloride: an antihistamine which dries up runny noses and aids restful sleep.
  • Dextromethorphan hydrobromide: a cough suppressant that helps relieve dry or tickly coughs.
