Theraflu

Theraflu is a combination medicine designed to help relieve the first signs of cold or flu. It comes in powder form and is prepared as a hot drink, commonly referred to as theraflu tea. The powder blends multiple active ingredients to ease nasal congestion, headache, body aches, and fever.

When Should You Take Theraflu?

You can take Theraflu when experiencing:

• fever,
• headache or sore throat,
• nasal congestion,
• chills and general fatigue.

To maintain your well-being and productivity, it’s best to take Theraflu at the very first signs of a cold or flu. Keep in mind that theraflu only treats symptoms. It does not cure the underlying cause. For additional immune support, consider trying an anti-cold herbal blend or explore other OTC medication for colds.

Can You Take Theraflu Without a Fever?

Yes, theraflu tea can be taken even without a fever. It helps relieve nasal stuffiness, eases headaches, and reduces fatigue in the body. To feel better quickly, follow the recommended dosage closely.

What’s Better: Paracetamol or Theraflu?

Theraflu contains:

• paracetamol to reduce fever and pain,
• pheniramine to relieve nasal swelling and runny nose,
• phenylephrine to reduce nasal congestion.

It may also include vitamin C or flavoring agents depending on the variety. Always read the label and check for contraindications before use.

If you’re only dealing with a high temperature, a single-ingredient option like Citramon or plain paracetamol may work.

However, if your symptoms include congestion, chills, and body aches, Theraflu will likely be more effective.

The instructions recommend dissolving one packet in hot (not boiling) water and drinking it immediately. Repeat doses can be taken every 4–6 hours, not exceeding 3–4 packets per day.
