How Night Nurse Works
Each Night Nurse Capsule contains a combination of three active ingredients:
-
Paracetamol (500mg) – Relieves headache, sore throat, fever, and muscle pain.
-
Promethazine hydrochloride (10mg) – An antihistamine that dries up runny noses, reduces sneezing, and helps you sleep.
-
Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (15mg) – A cough suppressant that soothes dry or tickly coughs.
Together, they target multiple cold and flu symptoms, helping you breathe easier, rest better, and recover faster.
