    WHAT ARE DAY & NIGHT NURSE CAPSULES?

    Day & Night Nurse capsules are used for 24 hour relief from major symptoms of colds, chills and influenza.

    The daytime capsules contain 3 active ingredients – paracetamol, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and pholcodine.

    • Paracetamol is a painkiller and also helps with reducing fever.
    • Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride works as a decongestant and unblocks your nose and eases breathing.
    • Pholcodine works as a cough suppressant that helps to relieve dry and tickly coughs.

    The night-time capsules contain 3 active ingredients – paracetamol, promethazine hydrochloride and dextromethorphan.

    • Promethazine hydrochloride is an antihistamine which dries up runny noses and also aids restful sleep.
    • Dextromethorphan works as a cough suppressant that helps to relieve dry or tickly coughs.

    Please note: as this medication can contains pseudoephedrine and other ingredients that can also cause dependence, you will only be allowed to purchase one pack through our service within a certain period of time.
