Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant

Lemsip is a well-known British brand of cold and flu remedies, particularly famous for its hot drink powders. Its origins date back to 1969 when it was launched in the UK, eventually becoming the leading brand in the cold and flu category within the British market. The product in the image is Lemsip Max Cold & Flu Blackcurrant sachets, which contain Paracetamol and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride.

The brand was originally developed by Reckitt & Colman (now Reckitt) and has remained part of that company's portfolio throughout its history. Manufacturing primarily occurs in the United Kingdom, specifically at Reckitt's major healthcare production facility in Hull, East Yorkshire. From this base, it is distributed to several international markets including Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Today, Lemsip is owned by Reckitt Benckiceker (trading as Reckitt), a multinational consumer goods giant headquartered in Slough, Berkshire, UK. Reckitt is a FTSE 100 company that focuses on hygiene, health, and nutrition products, owning other major global brands such as Dettol, Strepsils, and Gaviscon.
