How Does It Work?

The active ingredients in Theraflu Hot Liquid Powder products get to work quickly, enabling powerful relief from cold and flu symptoms.

Theraflu Daytime Severe Cold and Cough Hot Liquid Powder contains acetaminophen, which is a pain reliever and fever reducer that helps cool the body and changes the way we perceive pain.1 It also contains dextromethorphan HBr, which is a cough suppressant that decreases activity in the area of the brain that controls coughing.2 The third active ingredient is phenylephrine HCl, a nasal decongestant that reduces blood vessel swelling in the nasal passages to relieve nasal congestion and sinus pressure.3

Theraflu Nighttime Severe Cold and Cough Hot Liquid Powder also contains pain reliever and fever reducer acetaminophen and nasal decongestant phenylephrine HCI, as well as antihistamine and cough suppressant diphenhydramine HCI. As an antihistamine, diphenhydramine blocks histamine, which is the substance that causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing.4
