## Before you buy

- Follow the pack label and directions. The listing says adults and children aged 16 and over may take one sachet every 4–6 hours, up to four in 24 hours. Do not combine with other paracetamol-containing products. Seek immediate medical advice after an overdose, even if feeling well. The listing advises against use with allergies to ingredients, heart disease or high blood pressure, and includes further cautions concerning overactive thyroid, peptic ulcer, recent MAOI use, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist for more than three days.
- Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the title calls this a Max product and names blackcurrant, while the model name is generic, and the age-range field says “All” despite directions limiting routine use to adults and children aged 16 and over. Pregnancy appears in the target-audience field, but the safety text says not to use during pregnancy unless recommended by a healthcare professional. Check the package label for the exact product and current directions.

## A good fit for

- Adults or people aged 16 and over seeking a sachet-format hot drink for cold and flu symptoms, subject to the product label and their health circumstances.
- Buyers who prefer blackcurrant-flavoured powder over a tablet or capsule format.

## Less suited to

- Children under 16 unless advised by a medical professional.
- Anyone who cannot take paracetamol or phenylephrine, or whose circumstances match a listed warning, without first consulting a pharmacist or doctor.
