I have a man cold and taking my usual bowl of chicken soup washed down with a Lemsip Max but now I’m thinking… if the main ingrediant of a Lemsip is paracetamol, why don’t I just have a paracetamol? It’d cost alot less.

Whats the point of a Lemsip other than the paracetamol?

Thank you.

Now that you’ve read this, you now have a cold sorry thats just how this one works.

    “Squash” is another word for cordial or diluting juice - that is, a concentrated fruit juice that you dilute with water to drink

      Huh. That sounds like a good time and fridge space saver. Make your own concentrate. I have made my own ginger syrup concentrate before, tastes good but not exactly a fruit. Have you got a recipe you actually like drinking when you’re not sick?

        I’m afraid I’ve never made any myself. There’s a wide variety of them available pretty cheap in most shops here, and also I am fortunate enough to live somewhere where the tap water is really good
