Theraflu is a combination product that contains several different OTC medications. It's available without a prescription and treats symptoms of colds and the flu. Theraflu doesn't kill the virus that causes your cold or flu. But it may help you feel better by easing symptoms while your body fights the infection.

Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat Hot Liquid Powder, contains acetaminophen to effectively ease minor sore throat pain. Beyond sore throat, Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat Hot Liquid Powder, also treats nasal congestion, runny nose, body aches, fever, sneezing, headache, and sinus congestion.
