  • constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain
  • allergies and rashes
  • mild to moderate asthma attacks, severe cold and flu symptoms, and other breathing difficulties

Call Triple Zero (000) or visit your nearest emergency department if you or someone you know is experiencing an immediate life-threatening emergency such as:

  • becoming agitated, confused or very drowsy
  • chest pain or chest tightness
