Product Description

Day Nurse Tablets 500Mg/30Mg Film-Coated 18 Non-Drowsy Tablets

Day Nurse Tablets are a comprehensive, non-drowsy day nurse medicine formulated to provide multi-symptom relief from major cold and flu symptoms without causing daytime sedation. Combining Paracetamol (500mg), Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (30mg), and Pholcodine (5mg) [or Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide depending on localized UK market variants], these day nurse pills effectively reduce fever, soothe sore throats, relieve tickly dry coughs, and clear blocked nasal passages to keep you functional throughout the day.

As one of the most trusted daytime cold remedies in the day nurse uk range, Day Nurse Tablets 500mg/30mg offer targeted relief in convenient film-coated solid dose forms. Specially engineered to manage daytime viral respiratory discomfort, daynurse tablets tackle pain, pyrexia, congestion, and persistent cough reflex without impairing mental alertness or daily productivity.

Key Features:

  • Non-Drowsy Daytime Formula: Engineered specifically to treat cold and flu symptoms during the daytime without causing sedation.
  • Complete Multi-Symptom Relief: Targets 8 major symptoms: tickly cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, headache, body aches, fever, shivering, and sinus pressure.
  • Triple Active Ingredient Synergy: Combines Paracetamol for analgesia/antipyresis, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride for nasal decongestion, and Pholcodine/Dextromethorphan for cough suppression.
  • Film-Coated Design: Smooth, easy-to-swallow film-coated tablets for minimal gastric irritation and fast absorption.
  • Standardized 18-Tablet Pack: Formulated for precise dosing across a standard multi-day cold recovery period.

Mechanism of Action & Multi-Symptom Pharmacokinetics

Day Nurse Tablets deliver therapeutic relief through three distinct, complementary pharmacological pathways:

  • Central Analgesia & Antipyresis (Paracetamol 500mg): Paracetamol inhibits central nervous system prostaglandin synthesis via the COX enzyme pathway. This raises the overall pain threshold to relieve headaches, sore throats, and muscular aches while acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to reduce fever and shivering.

  • Sympathomimetic Vasoconstriction (Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride 30mg): Pseudoephedrine acts directly on alpha-adrenergic receptors in the respiratory tract mucosa. This induces vasoconstriction of swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages and sinuses, reducing mucosal edema, opening airway passages, and alleviating sinus pressure.

  • Central Anti-Tussive Reflex Suppression (Pholcodine / Cough Suppressant): Acts centrally on the cough center within the medulla oblongata to suppress the cough reflex, stopping persistent, non-productive dry and tickly coughs without causing respiratory depression.

Ingredients:

  • Active Ingredients (per tablet): Paracetamol 500mg, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride 30mg, Pholcodine 5mg (or Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 5.71mg in specific UK market variants).
  • Tablet Excipients & Coating: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Povidone, Croscarmellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate, Hypromellose, Titanium Dioxide (E171), Macrogol, Glycerol.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Day Nurse Tablets used for?

Day Nurse Tablets are a non-drowsy, multi-symptom cold and flu medication used to relieve headaches, sore throat, fever, muscle aches, nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and dry tickly coughs during the day.

Do Day Nurse Tablets make you sleepy?

No, Day Nurse Tablets are specially formulated to be non-drowsy. They contain active decongestants and pain relievers that provide relief without inducing sedation, allowing you to remain alert throughout the day.

Can you take Day Nurse Tablets with Paracetamol?

No. Day Nurse Tablets already contain 500mg of Paracetamol per tablet (1000mg per 2-tablet dose). Taking additional paracetamol-containing products alongside Day Nurse can cause a dangerous overdose. Always check medicine labels carefully.

How long does Day Nurse take to work?

Day Nurse Tablets typically start to take effect within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion, providing fast relief from body aches, congestion, and fever that lasts up to 4 hours.

Can I take Day Nurse Tablets at night?

While Day Nurse Tablets can be taken in the evening, they contain Pseudoephedrine (a mild stimulant decongestant), which may cause insomnia or difficulty sleeping in some individuals if taken right before bedtime.

What is the difference between Day Nurse and Night Nurse?

Day Nurse is a non-drowsy daytime formula containing a decongestant and non-sedating cough suppressant. Night Nurse is formulated for nighttime use and contains a sedating antihistamine (Promethazine) to relieve runny nose and promote restful sleep while treating cold symptoms.
