If so, does it work? I've been reading reviews, and as usual they are mixed. The majority of reviews do seem to be positive, but I thought I'd enlist the expertise of you all! :) Also, if you've taken Theraflu, does the pill version work? I've heard that the dissolvable packets have a terrible taste. Thanks everyone!!

Message: I love the stuff!!! After overimbibing one Christmas Eve when I was coming down with a cold, I drank some daytime Theraflu on Christmas morning. It not only made the cold symptoms disappear, it cured my hangover! LOL! There's something soothing about drinking a hot lemony liquid when you're sick. WAY better than a shot of Nyquil. And tastier, too.

Sometimes it has too much meds in there, I may have a cough, but not a runny nose.
But I do like it at night before I go to bed, very soothing and the night one has an antihistamine in it to help relax you so you can sleep.
So for night yes, or really sick and I stay home the day one is good also.

It's the one medicine I can't do without when I'm home sick. I stress "home" because it knocks me out.
I love that it's hot. I get the lemon flavor and don't mind the taste. Hubby adds sugar (yuk). The hot liquid gives me the instant relief and about 20-30 minutes later, I can breathe, sleep and the aching stops.
I can't take most OTC cold remedies. They all make me hyper (even Nyquil). LOVE Theraflu -- has gotten me through some of the worst colds and flus.

Message: I have tried the liquid and it is foul!!! But it does work. Haven't tried the tabs though.
I've had the same thing happen when I took those foul Tylenol chewable tabs--they tasted liked mint-flavored stucco! Better the headache than those "discosting" things!!!

Message: I have tried the pills and they don't do much. As for the nasty tasting stuff, I suppose it helped the time I drank it, but It's so foul tasting I could not finish it.

Message: What do mean does it work? It's a flu medicine, if your symptoms match the bottle then it will work. What are your symptoms?
