Pretty much, it’s paracetamol, caffeine and a decongestant. All things that are normally cheaper as tablets.

I’ve always hated the taste of Lemsip because of the paracetamol, don’t understand how people can stand it.

I just take some tablets and have a mug of hot lemon/honey, the hot drink helps with congestion and the honey soothes a sore throat. Lemsip just mashes it all up into one powder.
