Dissolve one Theraflu powder packet in 8 ounces of hot water and drink while warm, following the package directions.

Active ingredients across Theraflu sore throat options include dextromethorphan HBr, acetaminophen, and phenylephrine (HCl). Some nighttime formulas also include antihistamines such as diphenhydramine HCl or chlorpheniramine maleate.

Label guidance varies by formulation: some Theraflu sore throat products are labeled for adults 18 years and older, while others are indicated for ages 12 years and up.

Directions vary by product: some formulations recommend dosing every four hours as needed, while others specify every six hours as needed. Always follow the specific product label instructions.

Theraflu products target multiple cold and flu symptoms in addition to sore throat, commonly listing fever, nasal/sinus congestion, cough, headache, and body aches. Nighttime formulas also typically list relief for runny nose and sneezing.

Daytime formulas focus on pain relief and cough suppression (for example, acetaminophen plus dextromethorphan), while nighttime formulas add antihistamines to relieve runny nose and sneezing and to help promote restful sleep.
