For people wanting to stop the snot and carry on with life when struck by a bad head cold – here’s some great news!
Demazin Original cold + flu DAY + Night tablets, the cold and flu medicine that’s been helping Australians feel better for over 50 years, has hit New Zealand shelves just in time for winter.
The medicine is among the first with the decongestant pseudoephedrine to be available in New Zealand pharmacies since the country’s 10-year ban on selling over-the-counter pseudoephedrine sales was lifted.
Pseudoephedrine is now approved for use in New Zealand after a significant policy change, led by ACT leader David Seymour.
Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant that helps relieve a runny or blocked nose. It works by reducing the swelling of the blood vessels in your sinuses to help mucus and air flow more freely, so you can breathe easier and feel less stuffy.
It starts working really fast – in just 30 minutes – and provides relief for 4-6 hours. Demazin Original Cold + Flu night time tablets also include an antihistamine to aid rest by relieving a runny nose, sneezing and itchy, watery-eyed.
Demazin Original cold + flu DAY + Night tablets, distributed by Radiant Health, is a pharmacist-only medicine, which means you can only buy it after consulting your pharmacist. It’s competitive in terms of pricing (suggested price is $19.99) making it more affordable for everyone.
Always follow the directions for use on the label and talk to a health professional should symptoms persist or if you’re unsure whether the medicine is right for you. Look out for the rest of the Demazin range in your local pharmacy.
This medicine may cause sleeplessness if taken several hours before going to bed. Night tablets may cause drowsiness. So don’t drive or operate machinery if affected and avoid alcohol.
Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Incorrect use may be harmful. Night tablets may cause drowsiness. Avoid alcohol.
For more information, and to see if Demazin is right for you, speak to your pharmacist.
