Equivalent of Beecham's cold and flu
Hate getting a cold but this has always cleared it up for me in the UK, but I am just completely overwhelmed by cold and flu medicines here...
Anyone know of anything that's similar to Beecham's cold and flu? |

Anyone know of anything that's similar to Beecham's cold and flu? Nyquil is a mixture, you can buy a 2 pack day/night. The night is pretty good at bedtime. |

Theraflu is similar to Lemsip powders but don't taste as good, I usually stock up on Lemsip when I am home.

Not a direct equivalent, but something good to take when you feel a cold coming on. Emergn-C

It is frankly minging....in whatever flavour. Nyquil is probably the most similar to the UK stuff, but doesn't taste as good, but a shot of honey makes it bearable. |

Theraflu works by tasting so vile you feel a constant urge to throw up while you're forcing it down, so you don't notice how rotten your cold has been making you feel. Quite a clever tactic really.

We use Niquil here too, it seems to be the same as Night Nurse. We use the capsules.

I don't use any of that stuff, I find that Zicam is by far the most effective symptom and duration reducer for cold/flu.

yes- lemsip (placebo par excellence) is the one of the very few remaining things we bring back from the uk now. Im quite happy to swap nyquil for nightnurse but theraflu is vile and doesnt make me feel better lol.
