Lemsip Cold & Flu First Action Nasal Spray 20ml, Helps Stop A Cold Early (Pack of 2)

Product Information

Over the last 12 years I have used the product every time I felt that tell tale ‘fiz’, and only suffered one cold in all that time. I keep it in the car so that I always have it to hand and can apply it as soon as I feel the ‘fiz’. Further non-serious research is being conducted to investigate the effects on a wider demographic of singing students.

To their credit, Boots did reply to me (oddly by direct message, in case you’re wondering why I’m not linking to their tweets) with 4 papers in peer reviewed journals. Limitations of the research were the amount of participants and the fact the participant administered the research. There was no control, no randomization and no ethics approval was sought. No conflict of interest was reported.

Side Effects

Previous studies investigating the effects of cold and flu nasal sprays employed participants already at the onset of an upper respiratory tract infection and their results have been inconclusive. The final study was published in 2013. It was again randomised and double blind, and like the first study included otherwise healthy adults in the first 48 h of a common cold. The primary endpoint was different this time, and was the duration of disease. This was a larger study than the first one, and included 211 patients.

Well, the first thing to note is that although there were 4 papers, there were only 3 clinical trials: one of the papers is a combined analysis of 2 of the others. The next thing to note is that all 3 trials were of patients in the early stages of a common cold. So right away we can see that we have no evidence whatsoever that the product can help prevent a cold or flu, and no evidence whatsoever that it can treat flu. Adults, the elderly and children 16 years and over: One sachet every 4–6 hours as required. Do not take more than 4 sachets in 24 hours.

Continue until the symptoms have stopped. The first of the trials was published in 2010. It was an exploratory study in 35 patients who were in the first 48 hours of a cold, but otherwise healthy. It was randomised and double-blind, and as far as I can tell from the paper, seems to have been reasonably carefully conducted. The study showed a significant benefit of the nasal spray on the primary outcome measure, namely the average of a total symptom score on days 2 to 4 after the start of dosing. For hygiene reasons and to avoid transmission of pathogens, one Lemsip First Action nasal spray should always be used by one and the same person. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
