There are many remedies on the market for colds, flu and coughs but most can be quite expensive. Pharmacy First have not only lowered the prices of the big names such Lemsip and Covonia, but we are also offering the lowest prices on all of the cheaper non-branded and generic alternatives.
Lemsip Alternative
We are currently selling a Lemsip alternative sachet in packets of 5 sachets that contain the same active ingredient found in both Lemsip and Beechams Sachets but for a fraction of the price. This box of 5 cold and flu sachets is, at the time of writing, available for only 95p.
The sachet form a hot drink that contains Paracetamol and Vitamin C to clear your headache and reduce your fever but also contains decongestants to unclog your nose, throat and chest so you can breathe easier and feel better without it making you drowsy.
We highly recommend this product for you to help deal with your colds and flu this winter.
Vapour Rub
We also have a great price available for a Vapour Rub product that is very similar to Vicks VapoRub. It comes in 50g jars and has the same effect for clearing your sinuses and letting you get on with your life.
This Vapour Rub can also be added to hot water to be used as an inhalant to further aid in clearing your airways.
Vapour Rub is normally applied to the chest, throat or back to let the vapour work on clearing you blocked nose and sinuses during a cold or flu.
Vapour rub is also good for people who may not be able to take medication during the time that they have a cold or flu.
Simple Linctus
Simple Linctus contains Citric Acid Monohydrate, which is also found in Benylin. It is commonly used to relieve the symptoms of coughs. Simple Linctus is a demulcent. It coats the throat and relieves the symptoms of coughs. It is a highly effective remedy for any type of cough and only costs 99p at Pharmacy First.
Simple Linctus is a great alternative to expensive cough medicines and branded remedies, such as Covonia and Benylin. For details of more great cheap cough remedies check out the Coughs and Colds section of the main website.
For childrens coughs, we would suggest using something like Galenphol Linctus Paediatric, which is aimed at children from 3 months to 12 years old.
