Nurofen Cold & Flu Relief targets both pain and congestion using two proven active ingredients:

Reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and lowers fever. It blocks the body’s production of prostaglandins – chemicals that trigger pain, swelling, and temperature rise.
Phenylephrine hydrochloride (nasal decongestant):
Constricts swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages and sinuses, easing congestion and pressure that can cause headaches and blocked sinuses.
Together, they deliver fast, comprehensive cold and flu symptom relief without excessive drowsiness.
Suitable for: Adults, the elderly, and children aged 12 years and over.
