Beechams Powders Pack of 10

Targeted Relief for Everyday Ailments

Beechams Powders Pack of 10 are your go-to solution for comprehensive relief when you're feeling unwell. Each powder delivers a powerful combination of active ingredients to get you back on your feet quickly.

Fast-Acting Cold & Flu Symptom Relief

Don't let colds & flu slow you down. Beechams Powders effectively reduce headaches, feverishness, and sore throat pain. The aspirin works to lower your temperature and ease inflammation, while caffeine helps to combat that sluggish feeling, giving you a much-needed boost.

Relief from Various Pains

Beyond cold and flu, Beechams Powders also provide effective relief for mild to moderate pain, including:

• Migraines
• Neuralgia
• Toothache
• Period pain
• Rheumatic pain (often associated with arthritis)
• Muscular aches and pains

How Beechams Powders Work

The efficacy of Beechams Powders lies in its dual-action formula:

• Aspirin (600 mg): As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin targets the root causes of discomfort by relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and lowering fever.
• Caffeine (50 mg): This mild stimulant complements aspirin's action, helping to alleviate fatigue often associated with illness and pain, and can also enhance the pain-relieving effects of aspirin.

Special Care Considerations:

• There is a possible association between aspirin and Reye's syndrome when given to children under 16 years. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease which affects the brain and liver and can be fatal.
• Aspirin may cause bleeding. Tell your doctor if you experience any unusual bleeding.
• Drinking alcohol with aspirin increases the risk of bleeding.
• Avoid excessive intake of caffeine (e.g., coffee, tea, energy drinks) while taking this product to prevent potential nervousness and dizziness.
• This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per sachet, meaning it is essentially 'sodium-free'.

Possible Side Effects:

Like all medicines, Beechams Powders can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. If you experience any of these effects, STOP taking this medicine immediately and contact your doctor or pharmacist:

• Stomach ulceration or perforation: Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or passing blood in your stools (black or tarry) or vomiting blood/dark particles (like coffee grounds). People with sensitive stomachs are more prone to stomach irritation and bleeding.
• Severe allergic reactions: Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, skin rash, swollen facial features, tightening of the chest, or asthma attacks in those sensitive to aspirin.
• Occasionally, blood may not clot well, leading to bruising, bleeding, or yellowing of the skin and eyes.
• Other side effects: lethargy, weakness, shortness of breath, generalised swelling or water retention, ringing in your ears, or temporary hearing loss.
• High caffeine intake can result in nervousness and dizziness.

If you get any side effects, even those not mentioned, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card scheme.
