Question 1

How do Nurofen Day and Night Cold and Flu Tablets treat colds and flu?

Accepted Answer

Nurofen and Day Night Cold and Flu Tablets reduce cold and flu symptoms thanks to two active ingredients: ibuprofen and phenylephrine hydrochloride. The first ingredient is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which lessens pains, headaches, and swelling and reduces high temperatures (feverishness). The second active ingredient is phenylephrine hydrochloride, a nasal decongestant that eases swelling in your nasal passages, thus, relieving congestion.
