Frequently asked questions

What is Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant used for?+
Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant contains paracetamol, which is used to relieve fever, headache, muscle aches and other mild to moderate pain symptoms that commonly accompany colds and influenza. It provides symptomatic relief to help individuals feel more comfortable while the underlying viral infection resolves.
How does paracetamol work in this product?+
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels decrease the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, producing antipyretic effects, and also diminish pain signalling pathways, providing analgesia.
What is the usual dose of Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional or according to the product label. Dosage depends on factors such as age, weight, and overall health status, and it should never exceed the maximum recommended amount to avoid toxicity.
Is Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Paracetamol is generally considered the analgesic/antipyretic of choice during pregnancy and lactation, but use should only be under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. The prescriber will assess the benefit‑risk balance for each individual case.
How do I order Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant from GNH USA?+
Enquiries are submitted via the product page on gnh-usa.com, where you specify the required quantity. GNH USA supplies 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 Max compare with other cold‑and‑flu remedies?+
The key difference is that Lemsip Max relies on paracetamol as its sole active ingredient, focusing on fever reduction and pain relief. Other multi‑symptom products may contain additional decongestants, antihistamines or cough suppressants, which target a broader range of symptoms but also carry a different safety profile.
What are the storage and handling requirements for this product?+
Store the product at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or if the product shows signs of discoloration.
How is Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant administered?+
The product is taken orally, usually after dissolving the powder in hot water according to the instructions on the label. It should be consumed as directed, with or without food, and the full dose should be swallowed completely.
What are the most serious risks associated with this medication?+
The most serious risk is liver injury, which can occur with overdose or when combined with excessive alcohol or other hepatotoxic drugs. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or serious skin conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome may develop, requiring immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the formulation should avoid it. Those with severe liver disease, chronic alcohol misuse, or who are already taking other paracetamol‑containing products should consult a healthcare professional before use.
