How Beechams Max Strength Works

• Paracetamol 500mg: A trusted painkiller that also helps to reduce fever.
• Guaifenesin 100mg: An expectorant that works to loosen phlegm and thin bronchial secretions, making your chesty cough more productive and easier to clear.
• Phenylephrine hydrochloride 6.1mg: A decongestant that helps to unblock your nose and sinuses, allowing you to breathe more easily.

By combining these active ingredients, Beechams Max Strength All in One Capsules Pack of 16 offers a convenient way to manage multiple cold and flu symptoms simultaneously. For effective pain relief and decongestion, choose a trusted solution from Weldricks Pharmacy.
