Frequently asked questions

What is Lemsip Cough Max For Chesty Cough & Cold used for?+
Lemsip Cough Max For Chesty Cough & Cold is an over‑the‑counter oral formulation that combines phenylephrine, guaifenesin and paracetamol. It is intended to relieve chesty cough, reduce nasal congestion, and lower fever or headache associated with common colds and influenza.
How does phenylephrine hydrochloride work in this product?+
Phenylephrine hydrochloride is an alpha‑adrenergic agonist. By stimulating alpha‑1 receptors on the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, it causes vasoconstriction, which reduces swelling and opens the nasal passages, helping to alleviate congestion.
What is the usual dose of Lemsip Cough Max?+
The appropriate dose is determined by a qualified prescriber or according to the product label. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional or the packaging, and should not exceed the recommended amount.
Is Lemsip Cough Max safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lemsip Cough Max compare with other OTC cold remedies?+
Lemsip Cough Max combines three active ingredients—phenylephrine for decongestion, guaifenesin for expectoration and paracetamol for pain/fever—whereas many alternatives contain only a single agent such as pseudo‑ephedrine or ibuprofen. This multi‑component approach can address a broader range of symptoms in one dose, but it also requires attention to cumulative paracetamol exposure.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original container, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the packaging is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

The medication is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It should be swallowed whole and not chewed or dissolved unless the label specifically permits an alternative method of administration.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lemsip Cough Max?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, marked hypertension from phenylephrine, and potential liver injury if paracetamol is overdosed. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or a sudden rise in blood pressure.
Who should not use Lemsip Cough Max?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to phenylephrine, guaifenesin, paracetamol or any excipients should avoid the product. It is also contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
