    Default Got Flu...meds help!

    Hi Guys & Gals,
    Looks like I've got flu, feeling bloody awful, was just wondering if anyone knows of any Japanese brand names for over the counter drugs to help with the symptoms. Is there anything like lemsip? Also does anyone know if they have anything anti-nausea?
    Thanks

    For flu, I recommend to hit one of your local hospital-ish establishments to get a prescription for better stuff. Over-the-counter stuff in general does not work at all. The price is also going to be about the same. Sure, they have little effect, but the prescription meds are a tad better and easy to get.

    Thanks Guys....
    I'm trying to avoid the hospital as they are normally useless and it involves driving which I'm not feeling up to...
    Does anyone know any nausea meds like milk of magnesia (uk)?
