Common colds as well as flu-like illnesses are transmitted by inhaling airborne viruses, such as those that circulate when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. Cold viruses infect the nasal lining, where they multiply and spread, triggering the body's immune response. Sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, fever, headache or coughing are common cold symptoms resulting from these viruses. As the virus multiplies and spreads, cold symptoms develop further.
Using Lemsip First ActionTM at the first sign of cold or flu-like symptoms has been clinically proven to reduce the duration of cold and flu-like symptoms by up to 2 days. The spray forms a shield on the surface of the nasal mucosa, helping cold viruses clump together so they cannot replicate and infect healthy cells.
