How Beechams All In One Tablets Work
Beechams All In One Tablets combine three clinically proven ingredients:
-
Paracetamol (pain relief & fever reduction)
Reduces headache, sore throat, body aches, and helps lower high temperature. -
Guaifenesin (expectorant)
Loosens phlegm and clears mucus from the chest for easier breathing. -
Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant)
Reduces swelling in nasal passages and sinuses to relieve a blocked or stuffy nose.
Together, these ingredients offer complete cold and flu symptom control – targeting pain, congestion, and chesty cough in one dose.
