MAXIGESIC® Cold & Flu Hot Drink

We have been hit hard this winter with daycare bugs so this was perfect for my husband to help ease his pain and cough.

Was glad of both the ibuprofen and paracetamol when my daughter had the flu. Saved on having to use lots of tablets. She didn't love the taste but I thought it was okay.

Convenient enough, but AWFUL flavour.

Grateful for these when had a headcold. The sachets were great for convenience. I enjoyed the taste.

This seemed to work as well as a lemsip

I believe this product is misleading - it says it is a cold/flu drink so you might think it's comparable to lemsip etc, but in fact it only contains pain relief and has no decongestant in it. It should be called a Pain relief drink and not a cold/flu drink. Did not like the taste at all either.

Very pleasing aftertaste- unlike other similar products. Was great while we were home with covid, treating sinus congestion and the aches and pains.

Very tasty. Used these while I had a cold. Helped me and my daughter get a better nights sleep. Was worried it wouldn't taste nice, but I was surprised on its sweet palatable flavour.

This product did help alleviate headcount symptoms. I like the convenience of the sachets which can carry in handbag. I preferred this as a hot drink and I added fresh lemon and honey as well.

Not my cup of tea. Artificial tasting but did do the job.

Great for those horrible flu symptoms having the ibuprofen and the paracetamol. Gave a bit of relief.

Was a good combination of paracetamol and Ibuprofen!

Arrived just when the bugs hit. Was impressed by this product.

Couldnt have come at a better time, ended up with the flu and this really helped

Quick and very soothing with a nice taste

Grey stuff works well

Great timing. Effective in quieting a morning highly cough.

Soft

Am currently sick with a cold and have been relying on my Black Box pack to help me feel better. It definitely has made a difference, active ingredients did their job well. Only downside is the taste being too mild for my preference. At this price, I would probably rely on tried-and-true Lempsip, because I prefer the flavour.

Fast acting and really nicely tasting. This might rival Lemsip!

Certainly does the job but I wasn’t a fan of the flavour

Worked well and made me feel much better

think this is better than lemsip - it's not as intense and honestly I felt better straight away!!

Works as it should

Effective and almost immediate relief. I was expecting it to taste bad but I was pleasantly surprised.

Very helpful in soothing a cold and it's worst symptoms

Great flavour, helped prevent early symptoms get worse.

Tastes good and really helps with cold and flu

Very effective, quick relief

4 stars for pain relief to my sore throat. Lost a star due to foul flavour of product (Yetch)

A good product, it really helped my partner with his bad cold symptoms, especially when taken before bed.

Great product works well

Good product but not something I would usually use

Great product, used while I had covid and it really helped me to ease my symptoms.

Good relief when unwell. It helps you feel more comfortable for a while when unwell and soothes

Perfect for Covid when one doesn’t want to eat nor drink.

Have tasted it but wasn't sick so can't say if it works or not. Taste was bearable

I haven't been sick since I had covid in September last year. So when I received the Black Box with this product, I was wondering how'd I'd use it. But then I got sick. And I am still sick. But this product helped mitigate some of the pain and aches associated with the illness.

Helped with my cold

Brilliant product especially including ibuprofen it's about time there was a product like this

While I'm sure the product works I couldn't drink this due to the flavour, if you are sensitive about artificial flavours and medicine tastes then this is not for you

Worked great just what was needed

Worked good and for those that can't swallow tablets easily this is ideal.

Tastes pleasant

This really helped. Will buy again.

Great product made me feel so much better great taste

I have a cold and feel flu like atm and I would 100% buy this again. Very highly recommended

These worked great! Will buy again

Turned up at the right time for me with a cold. Used it and shared and/or recommended it to people around me whom also had colds. Worked great. Does what it said it would do.

Arrived in time for this sore throat

My go to Cold product

Good product and the mix of pain relievers works! Pleasant enough taste too, even though I prefer pills to drinks for medication.

Didn't know they made a drink will try it next time I'm unwell

Any product with anti inflammatory properties is a bonus. I didn’t know about this product and probably wouldn’t have bought them! But now I know the product I will! It’s a great idea. It is for overworking or the next bout of Covid when I can barely move and everything aches.

Worked well, taste was fine, not overly sweet, which is a bonus

I don't no how these taste as I haven't needed to use them

This works really well when I get the sniffles

These taste nasty, haven’t managed to finish a drink yet, they’re so strong. Have tried adding honey to sweeten and hide the taste but nothing works

My hubby keeps me in stock of these and as soon as i get a sniffle i start taking them, they are so worth taking as I get really sick. These stop that happening

Maxigesic 5 stars

Great taste, delicious real lemon flavour unlike all the others. But low dose and the price is prohibitive. I’d rather pay $10 for basically the same thing, Maxigesic paracetamol and ibuprofen tablets 20 tablets = 10 doses, whereas 10 sachets = 5 adult doses. The sample was only one sachet, did not even touch my pain from sinusitis.

Great product but price a bit prohibitive

It was good

Love the flavor and it worked for me helped calm my cough

Provides another option Lemon flavour Nice to drink

Nice taste and helps with sore throat

Great product - very timely delivery 😉

Good flavour compared to other lemon hot drinks - not too strong. Helped clear my sinuses and sore throat quickly.

Great to have a new product to try in drink form

Husband had a cold when our wonderful Black Box arrived so this was immediately put to good use. He pronounced it very effective in clearing his sinuses and said the taste was not too strong.

Not as nice as I thought it would be

Works well and nice flavour

My partner like it and found it helped when he need it to

Got this when we needed the most. Great taste and very effective.

I found this to be effective - had the flu bug strike and liked the taste, and it gave me a few hours relief.

Perfect timing for a flu household. Found the taste better than other flu and cold drinks I’ve tried in the past.

Will be buying this product in the future found it to do what it says

Perfect timing to have in the house.

Nice flavour

Good flavour and worked well

Works well for reducing fever and hot drink helped with cough. Easier than taking tablets

Really liked the flavour of the drink. It helped a lot.

was ok. didn't love the flavour

Did the job. Enjoyed the drink over my typical codral tablet - good to hydrate at the same time. Nice enough flavour. Effective result.

Had for me to drink as I'm not a fan of flu drinks at all but did help with symptoms.

Convenient

According to my Dad, great taste & super effective, he perked up really quickly

Works well according to my sister

Fast acting and low sugar content so you don’t get that sweet taste.

Works well for wife’s flu symptoms

Helped my daughter with her flu

Not a fan of drinking pain killers, this product wasn’t for me although did work.

This arrived at a perfect time when I got a chest infection.It effectively relieved the symptoms of cold and flu

Works well but not a fan of the flavour

This arrived at a perfect time when at home sick. It effectively relieved the symptoms of cold and flu. However I wasn't a fan of the artificial lemon flavour, it left an after taste in my mouth. Would be convenient and handy to have if traveling.

Would have been useful 4 weeks ago when we had COVID!

Definitely helped my spre throat

A convenient sachet of pain relief.

Not my thing. Prefer to take tablets when unwell and use natural honey and lemon drinks to sooth sore throats if needed

Gave it to my neighbor to use as she is currently down with a cold this morning, she told me this was such a help for her she got the best sleep ever are having this and would highly recommend it and asked me if I would go and buy her some more. She said it worked minimizing her symptoms so she could get a good rest and the flavour was so much better than others she has tried her words were, it doesn't taste like burnt lemon.

Very helpful product

Nice flavour easy to drink

Great for aches and pains of all sorts. Tastes good too

Super warming drink and certainly helps with any cold like symptoms. Actually a good flavour compared to most

Worked well and tasted good for what it is!

i dont use these products often enough to give a review

Good flavour and great alternative to tablets in winter

Really helped alleviate our covid symptoms this week. Nice flavour and definitely helped sooth my nose/throat symptoms!
