Treatment Information
Overview
Beechams Powders are used for fast and effective relief of cold and flu symptoms such as headaches, feeling warm or flu-like, aches, and pains. These powders also offer a solution for mild to moderate pain such as migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat pain, menstrual cramps, rheumatic pain, and muscular and bone pains.
The powder has two active ingredients. Aspirin is classified under the group of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This group of medicines helps to ease pain and swelling and to bring down body temperature when you are having a fever. Caffeine has a slight stimulating effect.
