Buy Night Nurse Cold Remedy 

Night Nurse Cold Remedy is a cold and flu medicine you can take before bed. It helps to ease your symptoms and get a good night's sleep as you recover from that cold.

Night Nurse is ideal for people with a cold or the flu who prefer liquid medicines to tablets.

 

How Night Nurse Cold Remedy works

Night Nurse Cold Remedy contains paracetamol, promethazine hydrochloride and dextromethorphan hydrobromide.

Paracetamol is a painkiller which provides you with relief from pain. It can also bring down a high temperature or fever. 

Promethazine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that dries up a runny nose and helps you get to sleep. 

Finally, dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that helps ease dry or tickly coughs.
