That's it, I have finally succumbed and bought some Beechams Flu Plus Caplets upon the recommendation of a friend.
The sneezing started 3 days ago and the combination of a runny and blocked nose a day later but when the thumping headache started yesterday I gave in and what a relief these tablets have been. I haven't got a sore throat although my glands are up but the tight knot in my chest and the occasional 'flemmy' cough are very much apparant..........what an attractive picture of myself I am painting!
I have been taking these for almost 48 hours and they do help to relieve the headache and the blocked nose. These really are a must for anyone with cold or flu like symptoms I just wish that they would get rid of the very attractive red bits from under my nose acquired from blowing it so much!! I can tell when I'm due another instalment of tablets when the symptoms start rearing their heads as they too often do.
I dutifully answered all of the usual questions and nodded politely when they were giving me info on what not to take alongside this product. However if you only want 8 tablets then you can collect these from the standard shelf area and don't have to waste time. These do work out to be more expensive than buying them in bulk.
I don't have a problem with swallowing tablets but if you can only take the tiniest of tablets then these aren't for you. Each tablet is about 1.5 cm in length and 3/4 cm in width. They are yellowy / orange in colour, so if you have little ones in the house they could easily be mistaken for sweets. In my opinion they should really be sold in small tubs with 'child unfriendly' lids as in the wrong 'little' hands these could be dangerous. ..
