What Beechams All in One Liquid 160ml does?
Beechams All in One Liquid 160ml is used for the short-term relief of the symptoms of colds, chills, and flu with chesty coughs. These symptoms include headache, shivers, aches and pains, blocked nose and painful sinuses, catarrh, sore throat, and a chesty, productive cough. This medicine contains three active ingredients. Paracetamol is a painkiller and reduces your temperature when you have a fever. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that loosens phlegm and relieves a chesty cough.
