EMAILNOTICES>noCodral - clears the head and stops the nose running. Have every two hours and drink lemonade, they can make you thirsty so keep the fluids up. You get a bit of energy from the lemonade as well.I've seen this work before on cast and crew.

Paracetemol is common to almost all cold'n'flu tablets, codeine is in a few but the ingredients to attack the running nose and stuffed up head are usually antihistamines and/or pseudoephedrine. Personally, i watch out for anything with antihistamines in it; they send me to sleep. Psuedoephedrine gives me a head spin - a little like speed, i'm told. I choose products with the latter over the former but don't be surprised if the pseudoephedrine keeps you awake until dawn :)CheersGrant
