Before booking a GP or ringing 111, most of us make a quick dash to Boots or Superdrug. Rank these pharmacy staples by how essential they are in your personal medicine cabinet.

Lemsip Max
That first hot, lemony sip has become shorthand for admitting you're properly ill. For many Brits, it's less a medicine and more a comfort ritual.

Strepsils
Whether it's the honey and lemon or the extra strong menthol, these lozenges are a staple for commuters, teachers and anyone who talks for a living.

Gaviscon
That chalky aniseed hit is oddly reassuring when heartburn strikes. A quiet hero of the British medicine cabinet, especially past a certain age.

Deep Heat
The unmistakable menthol smell of a British changing room or an office worker who slept funny. Fierce, effective, and impossible to ignore on public transport.

Rennie
Small, chalky and always rattling around somewhere in a handbag or glovebox. The go-to for indigestion when you're nowhere near the kettle.
