Hi ladies,

I have a cold/flu and I’m on a 7 days self quarantine just incase. I’ve been taking paracetamol but my oh bought me lemsip col and flu capsules with paracetamol.

I googled them and for some reason online it said contains ibraprofen which I want to avoid. Can anybody who is familiar with this medication confirm it’s ok to take?

The leaflet within doesn’t mention ibraprofen but want to make sure. Thank you x

That does NOT contain ibuprofen

If it contains ibuprofen it will state it clearly on the pack and the paper insert.

It says on the front what it contains. No ibuprofen.

Lemsip only contains paracetamol, not ibuprofen. So you have to take it INSTEAD of a dose of paracetamol or you'll have taken too much. You can take with with ibuprofen.

Nb I'm not a doctor but I'm fairly sure if you read the leaflet inside the lemsip box it will say similar.

Look at the back and it will list that it contains paracetamol, a decongestant and possibly vitamin c.

Can you post a link to where you found it says they contain inbuprofen?

Unshriven · 21/03/2020 14:36

Exactly what part of the internet told you that this paracetamol based product contains ibuprofen? Hmm

GreyishDays · 21/03/2020 14:36

Ibuprofen

🙈😂 sorry girls I’m very paranoid! Making sure I’m only taking paracetamol. I think I saw lemsip capsules but it wasn’t the same box front like mine it didn’t say paracetamol and I wasn’t sure if it might be combined. X
