What is Night Nurse Liquid?

Night Nurse Liquid gives symptomatic relief of colds, chills, and flu to aid restful sleep.

This specially formulated medicine is a complete night-time cold and flu treatment providing relief of common cold and flu symptoms. 

Night Nurse is formulated to be a single dose at night time before bed and acts quickly to relieve a dry/tickly cough and sore throat, runny nose, fevers and shivers, and aches and pains during the night to help you sleep.

Differences between colds and flu:

Colds and flu have very similar symptoms. However, there are a few tell-tale symptoms that you can look for to determine whether you have a cold or the flu.

• Exhaustion – The flu makes you feel too exhausted to carry on as usual, whereas you can still go about your day to day life when you have a cold

• Runny nose or sore throat – These are more common in colds, and the flu will affect more than your nose and throat

• Fever – If your fever is mild, you’re more likely to have a cold, a high fever is more common if you have the flu

• Symptoms appearing quickly – If you have the flu you’ll usually notice that your symptoms come on quickly, whereas a cold will appear more gradually

Ingredients and What they do:

• Paracetamol: A popular painkiller that can also help to reduce a high temperature

• Promethazine: An antihistamine that helps to ease a runny nose and helps you to sleep

• Dextromethorphan: Helps to suppress dry or tickly coughs
