Original Beechams Powders

Are they still available, don't like the capsules or taking paracetamol.

What a coincidence. Just tried to buy some yesterday, without success. The powders contain aspirin and caffeine, whereas the tabkets we bought instead, also with the Beechams name,  contained paracetamol. I’mtempted to try soluble aspirin with a coffee 👍going to Google now to try and track down te originals

Maggie, you can get dispersible aspirin on-line.  I call them soluble but actual name is dispersible aspirin.

Beechams Powders are still available. Boots stock it (but Chiswick Branch reporting out of stock). Maybe worth trying asking at your local chemist, or in Sainsburys if you shop there.

Everywhere seems to be out of stock, they have the capsules and all the other cold/flu etc., but all contain paracetamol.  Think I will get the soluble aspirin.

Can’t even get soluble aspiring. Shelves seem to be empty. Tried Chiswick now the same in Ealing . I’d like them today ideally
