Nyal Cold & Flu Fighter

Like so many other people on here I just bought it from Coles thinking it was medicine. I was in a hurry, there wasn’t a vast choice so I picked these up. I agree with other reviewers. To me this isn’t medicine, it’s a so called ‘herbal remedy’. My own fault for not reading the back of the packet but I was in a rush and thought it was similar to… Read more

Codral. I think it is misleading as I’d doesn’t mention being herbal on the front of the packet. I found them utterly useless.

Misleading. It doesn’t clearly states that is a herbal medicine, I took them all day and only got worse and worse until I checked and found out it’s a herbal medicine. Did nothing for me. Show details

Waste of money – Took the day and night pills for 4 days after getting symptoms and it has no effect. Still had blocked nose, headache, sore throat. Suggest to buy a different brand with better ingredients as these herbal ingredients did nothing for me. Show details

Fast results – You can’t buy codral day/night with codeine over the counter anymore. Bought these and they are very affective. Didn’t realise they were herbal based. Very impressed and I highly recommend. Show details

Amazing product – So Wednesday night I had a bit of a itchy throat n runny nose by Thursday morning the flu had hit me hard felt like I was on my death bed headache, head spins, blocked nose, hot and cold sweats, a fever that wouldn't break even with pain killers, whole body aching, coughing non stop it basically hurt to breathe I had to go into town after school… Read more

pick up and got some nyal cold n flu tablets took one day one on the spot a night a few hours later when I woke this morning I still felt like crap but was nowhere near sore my headache was gone n my temp had broken I continued to take the tablets threw out the day and I actually could see myself slowly getting better it's now Friday night I've had two night tablets 4 day ones and I feel so much better I wish I took theses years ago

Excellent for cumulative relief and regular colds – I have been using this product as a medicine cabinet staple for four years now. For anyone who isn't aware, with herbal supplements there is a cumulative effect, which is why you consistently take it throughout the day over several days. Expecting it to be an instant fix is ridiculous and concerning (I wonder why we have antibiotics reliance..). I… Read more

have found these tablets work very effectively for every regular old cough and cold. I always feel much better after the first few day tablets have been absorbed (so after an hour usually). The only instance where I required painkillers along with it was when I had a nasty strong virus.

The night tablets work excellently as they have Valerian in it which I find knocks me out in an hour by bedtime as the packet says. I find pharmaceutical syrups and tablets to make me nauseous and drowsy, and honestly not effective for long enough to sleep.

Wouldn’t recommend – I recently bought this from Woolworths and used it a few times. It never helped with my runny nose. My flatmate tried it too and didn’t see any results. I’ll be buying other brands in the near future. I think some of the 5 star reviews on here are fake. Most of the reviewers have only left one review on this website and it's for this product. Show details

This made me violently ill – Had a bit of a sore throat and just needed lozenges. Found these Nyal cold and flu fighter day:night thought they would work. NO bad headache and vomiting all night . Don’t trust them .. Show details

Useless, does not do anything to symptoms – Useless, does not reduce symptoms,you just keep getting worse. Go for other brands as this one doesn't work. You will just continue to suffer, tap water is better than this. Show details

Total waste of money – I went to the buy Codral but just missed the Chemist, so went into the supermarket and found Nyal Cold+Flu on the shelf. After taking the second tablet they still made not one iota of difference to my symptoms. I,ve come to the conclusion that Nyal Cold+Flu is completely useless and a total waste of money! Show details

What a dreadful waste of time and money – I've been taking this for a week now, wondering why I am not getting better and double checked to ensure I'm not taking too much paracetamol and it turns out it is a herbal pill. The fact I'm not better factually shows this doesn't work. Packaging is very deceiving as it makes you think you are getting something with proper oomf. Show details

didnt work for me or my wife – my wife had a cold few months ago and she took nyal cold and flu fighter made it worse for her we forgot about the tablets and i got sick and took them and it got worse for me too basically wouldnt recommend it to anyone Show details

Can heal your Flu within 24-hours if you're quick! – Isn't it suspicious that there are only 1-star or 5-star reviews. Basically the 1-star reviews are fake reviews funded by big pharmaceutical companies, and the 5-star reviews are legit. My personal experience with Nyal cold & flu fighter, let's just say it's the only medicine I take during a flu and it always, and I mean ALWAYS clears me up within… Read more

24-72 hours. It's herbal medicine but it works better than anything else! Take it as soon as you feel a sore throat, cough or runny nose. If you're quick Nyal can heal your flu in 24-hours.

Liars, Thieves, Criminals. This is a waste of money – I have a sore throat and went to the nearest shop. Had a look at medicinal section, saw Nyal was on offer (original price was similar to Panadol and other REAL brands). So picked it up. It was only after I returned home that I had a look at the nutritional facts or whatever you call it... HORSERADISH? WHITE WILLOW BARK? ELDERBERRY? Is this an… Read more

open joke? Is this some Skyrim souvenir?

I used the entire pack over the course of a week and it did NOTHING. There was NO change whatsoever, NO effect, i may of as well taken sugar pills. This is complete ludicrous that these thieves, liars, criminals are allowed to package it like REAL medicine, price it like REAL medicine, and claim to have rejuvenating effects like REAL medicine.

Disgusting.

Misleading Product – I have sore throat, cough and cold. Found this at Coles and bought it coz it's packaging. Follow all the instructions and ate them for 2days, but I'm not feeling better, now I can't even sleep because my cough is getting worse. Need to wait till morning to get the proper medicine. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

such good stuff – had a sore throat and glands were swollen and took two tablets. symptoms nearly gone in the next 24 hours so decided to dose up again and cleared the whole thing. so great to have a herbal alternative to the usual chemicals.

Fast and really good – Very good! The first two tablets of night med I took was really effective.. the next day I feel way better knowing I had a severe cold and flu before drinking the med.

Ineffective placebo disguised as medicine – This is packaged like medicine, with day and night tablets, and is expensive like medicine, but has no relieving effect whatsoever. It didn't even have a placebo effect and it was only after two days that I had a closer look at the ingredients and realised that it was just herbal supplements. It should have been stocked in the vitamin section of the supermarket, well away from the real medicine. It just doesn't work.

If u take this product already on the onset of a cold/flue it weorks every time – Herbs and natural medicine DO work otherwise humanity would not have survived that long before the Pharmaceutical Main Stream Industry has been established not too long ago...Best is to take this product at the onset of a cold and flu virus so it can support the immune system.

Works for me – I have been using this for several years & it works great. Normal stuff just makes me drowsy and takes days, this works with only a couple of tablets most of the time. These sort of things dont always work on some people, and you should read the back of the pack of any medicine before taking it or you could end up in hospital like a mate of mine for not following the instructions.

Doesn't work , as good as not taking any medicine – Took the night tablet for cold, fever and headache made my condition worse, had to wait till morning to take some other medicine. This tablet didn't give me any relief. Took a Panadol in the morning and it's making me feel much better.

Misleading and doesn’t work – Like many others my husband bought this for us thinking it was cold medicine. It isn’t clear it is herbal and doesn’t work - if you are actually sick and need to feel better do not buy!

Herbal medicine disguised as the real thing – Don't buy this if you're actually sick. I was conned into buying this by it being on the shelf next to ACTUAL medicines that work. Might has well drink drink tea and do a rain dance to settle your fever, nyall won't.

Always helpful – These have always helped my cold and flu symptoms. People need to read the back and if you don't want herbal products you shouldn't buy this product. It very clearly states the ingredients on the packaging so a lot of these reviews are just due to human error. For me this is my product of choice if I'm sick.

Buyer Beware – this product is a disgrace, looks like a medicine but just herbal extracts. If you have a fever, it will do no good. This is really a product to avoid at all costs, if you are actually sick.

NOT A MEDICINAL PRODUCT – This product is nothing more than herbal extracts. It is not medical and is very misleading as it is sold on the preface that it is. I took it for 2 days and all it did was make me feel queasy! Started taking some ACTUAL medicated cold and flu relief and my symptoms dulled within an hour.. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Amazing – I can't handle codral etc and the Nyal to me is actually more effective. I have a rotten cold now and want to take some but having to research every herb to see if it's safe for pregnancy as dr google has no answers on this.

Not helpful – This product did not help at all. Extremely disappointed as I have to wait for 6 hours before I can take even panadol. Am feeling terrible. This should be renamed as herbal medication.

Useless – Had zero impact on cold and actually deteriorated very quickly. When checking for ingredients found there to be only herbal extracts . Should not be sold with medicines. This is very misleading for elderly people who have always associated Nyal products with quality medicinal treatments.

Deserves a complaint to the ACCC – Pay attention to the BACK of the packaging otherwise you wont realize these are just herbal extracts. Clever package disguised to look like medication and sold next to Codral, Lemsip etc. Might work for some, but I wasted 2 days before I realized why I didn't feel any better.

Should state its a herbal product on the packaging – Don't waste your time or money on this product. Completely misleading packaging, and really expensive for what the product actually is. Im sick and need proper drugs, not herbal supplements!
