Product Overview

Med-Lemon Hot Medication with Vitamin C is a staple South African cold and flu remedy designed to provide fast, soothing relief from systemic symptoms. It combines a high dose of aspirin for pain and fever with caffeine to enhance its effectiveness and Vitamin C to support the immune system. Unlike standard tablets, Med-Lemon is prepared as a hot drink, which helps to soothe a sore throat and provide comfort through warm steam inhalation while drinking. This 18-sachet pack is the ideal size for managing a full course of a moderate to severe viral infection for one or two adults.

What the Product Is Used For

  • Fever Reduction: Effectively lowers high body temperatures associated with influenza and the common cold.
  • Headaches & Body Aches: Targets the "heavy" aches in muscles and joints often felt during a flu.
  • Sore Throat: The hot liquid and menthol provide immediate local soothing for an inflamed throat.
  • Nasal Congestion: The menthol vapors help to temporarily clear stuffy nasal passages.
  • Immune Support: Provides a supplemental dose of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) to assist the body's recovery process.

Key Benefits

  • Fast-Acting Liquid Format: Because it is ingested as a warm solution, the active ingredients are absorbed more rapidly than traditional solid tablets.
  • Soothing Experience: The act of drinking a hot, lemon-flavored beverage provides psychological and physical comfort when feeling unwell.
  • High Dose Analgesic: Contains 800mg of Aspirin per sachet, making it a powerful option for significant pain and high fevers.
  • Non-Drowsy: Contains caffeine rather than sedating antihistamines, making it suitable for daytime use.

Active Ingredients

Each sachet contains:

  • Aspirin (800 mg): For potent pain relief, anti-inflammatory action, and fever reduction.
  • Caffeine (50 mg): Enhances the analgesic effect of the aspirin and combats fatigue.
  • Ascorbic Acid / Vitamin C (45 mg): To support immune function during illness.
  • Menthol (2.6 mg): Provides a cooling sensation and helps clear the nasal passages.
  • Sugar Content: Contains Sucrose (approximately 4.3 g).

Dosage Form

Quantity / Size

Pack size: 18 Sachets (also available in 8s and single sachets).

Directions for Use

  • Adults (over 16 years): Take one sachet in the morning and one at night.
  • Midday Dose: An additional dose may be taken at midday if symptoms are severe.
  • Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 3 sachets in any 24-hour period.
  • Preparation: Empty the sachet into a cup. Half-fill with very hot water and stir. Top with cold water if needed, but drink as hot as possible.
  • Duration: Do not use for more than 10 consecutive days without medical consultation.

Warnings / Safety Information

  • Age Restriction: Not to be given to children under the age of 16 unless specifically prescribed by a doctor, due to the risk of Reye’s Syndrome.
  • Aspirin Sensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin or other NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), or if you have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders.
  • Asthma: Use with caution, as aspirin can trigger bronchospasm in sensitive individuals.
  • Pregnancy: Should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional medical advice.
  • Caffeine Intake: Avoid excessive coffee or tea while using this medication to prevent jitters, palpitations, or insomnia.

Storage Instructions
