How do Night Nurse Capsules work?

Paracetamol is an analgesic (a pain killer) and antipyretic (it reduces body temperature when you have a fever). Promethazine is an antihistamine which dries up a runny nose, so easing breathing. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant which relieves dry or tickly coughs.

 

What are Night Nurse Capsules for?

Night Nurse Capsules are for the night time relief of the symptoms of colds, chills and influenza. These symptoms include headache, shivers, aches and pains, sore throat pain, runny nose, and a dry, tickly, non productive cough. Relieving these symptoms will help you get a less disturbed night's sleep.

 

Check before you take this medicine

Important: Night Nurse Capsules are a complete night-time cold treatment. Do not take with any other paracetamol-containing products. Do not take with other flu, cold or decongestant products at night, or with alcohol.

 

Night Nurse Capsules may cause drowsiness, but as the product is intended to be taken only at bedtime, this shouldn't be a problem. However if you are affected, you should not drive or operate machinery.

 

Do not take Night Nurse Capsules if:

 you are allergic to paracetamol, promethazine hydrochloride, dextromethorphan hydrobromide or any of the other ingredients listed.

 you have kidney or liver problems.

 you are taking, or have taken in the last two weeks, medicines prescribed by your doctor or hospital for depression (including monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOI's).

 you are having a pregnancy test carried out on your urine.

 

Talk to your doctor first if:

 you have asthma or other breathing problems, epilepsy, glaucoma, urinary retention (difficulty in passing water), or prostate or heart problems.

 you are taking medicines to thin the blood (anticoagulants eg warfarin).

 you are taking medicines which make you drowsy, or which give you a dry mouth or blurred vision, or which have been prescribed for anxiety or to help you sleep.

 

If you are pregnant or breast feeding:

As with all medicines you should ask your doctor before using Night Nurse Capsules if you are pregnant or breast feeding. You should only use the product at this time if your doctor thinks it appropriate and necessary.

 

How should you take Night Nurse Capsules?

Adults (including the elderly) and children aged 12 years and over: Take 2 capsules just before bedtime

 

Do not take Night Nurse Capsules if you have already taken 4 doses of a paracetamol-containing product during the day

 

Not to be given to children under 12 years of age except on medical advice

 

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor

 

What should you do if you take too much?

It would be harmful to take more than the doses stated on the pack and in this leaflet. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.

 

Will Night Nurse Capsules suit you?

Most people taking Night Nurse Capsules find they cause them no problems. However, occasionally some people may get skin rashes, other allergic effects or become extra sensitive to sunlight. Movement difficulties, dry mouth, blurred vision, disorientation, restlessness and dizziness may also occasionally occur. Some people may occasionally get an upset tummy or experience difficulty in passing urine. All these effects should go away once you stop taking the medicine.

 

If you are concerned about these effects, or if Night Nurse Capsules affect you in any other way, stop taking them and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
