There should be no problem. You don't say whether you are hypo or hyper and whether treated for thyroid disorder. In future you will find it cheaper to buy generic paracetamol if you don't also need the decongestant added to the paracetamol in Lemsip Max.

yes you can. I find nurofen plus gel capsukes or the lemsip max capsules better...seem to work quicker.

Just a reminder, you should take your meds on empty stomach so you may want to leave it an hour before lemsip so doesn't effect your absorption of your meds but can't think of any other reason this would be an issue :-)

Amyliegh I do know that we cannot take Sudafed, so if Lemsip Max has the same decongestant in it, then no. I think the ingredient we cannot have is Pseudoephedrine. They are very strict about this in America, but I had learnt the hard way by then. If you use the search engine, then we have talked about this in the past.
