Night Nurse Liquid information
Night Nurse Liquid offers fast, effective relief from cold and flu symptoms such as runny nose, cough, headache, sore throat and chills. Formulated for night-time use, it eases symptoms and encourages a good night’s sleep.
If cold symptoms or the flu are keeping you awake, Night Nurse Liquid can relieve symptoms and help you rest. It contains paracetamol which relieves mild to moderate aches and pains and reduces fevers. It also contains Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant. Finally promethazine, a sedating antihistamine, dries nasal secretions and promotes restful sleep.
Night Nurse Liquid causes drowsiness. For day-time relief, try Day Nurse Capsules or Liquid - they provide the same relief from pain and congestion without the drowsiness.
Tips for preventing the spread of viruses:
- Wash your hands frequently and properly, especially before handling food.
- Avoid sharing glasses when drinking.
- Ensure that surfaces such as door handles, kitchen surfaces and telephones are cleaned frequently.
- When possible, open windows to circulate air.
- Eat a balanced diet, including fruit and vegetables.
- Have ample rest; too much activity while sick will make your body less able to fight viruses.

Night Nurse Liquid FAQs
What are Night Nurse Liquids uses?
Relief from cold and flu symptoms at night, including tickly, unproductive coughs, runny nose, sinus pain, fever, headache, aches and pains and sore throats.
What should I know before taking Night Nurse Liquid?
Night Nurse Liquid may cause drowsiness and should not be taken during the day. If this medication makes you drowsy, do not drive or operate machinery.
Avoid drinking alcohol with Night Nurse Liquid.
You should not take Night Nurse Liquid if you have already taken four doses of a paracetamol-containing medication during the day, as you can easily exceed the maximum recommended daily dose. Since many over-the-counter painkillers and cold and flu remedies contain paracetamol, it is important to check the ingredients of any medications before taking them with Night Nurse Liquid, or ask your pharmacist.
An overdose of paracetamol is dangerous and can cause serious liver and kidney damage. Never exceed the recommended dose of Night Nurse Liquid. In the event of an overdose, seek immediate medical advice, even if you feel well, since delayed liver damage is a risk.
Alcohol increases the risk of liver damage in the event of a paracetamol overdose. Heavy drinkers and people with alcoholic liver disease are at a higher risk for hazards from paracetamol overdose.

children under 12 years of age
people with severe liver or kidney disease
