Theraflu contains a combination of frequently purchased OTC medications which have been used for years to treat cold and flu symptoms. The effectiveness of each ingredient varies, but many people find cold medications like Theraflu helpful.

Theraflu is only for adults and children ages 12 years and older. Don't take Theraflu with other OTC medications that have the same or similar ingredients. Some ingredients, like acetaminophen, are harmful when taken in large doses.

Giving Children Cough and Cold Medicines The FDA doesn't recommend OTC medicines for cough and cold symptoms in children younger than 2 because they could cause serious and potentially life-threatening side effects.

Adults and children over the age of 12 should take 1 packet every 4 hours to treat symptoms of a severe cold and cough. Children under 12 should not take Theraflu Cough Relief Hot Liquid Powder. Dissolve contents of one packet into 8 oz. hot water; sip while hot.
