    ACTIONS

    TYLENOL® Flu Day Non-Drowsy Gelcaps contain a clinically proven analgesic-antipyretic, a decongestant and a cough suppressant. Acetaminophen produces analgesia by elevation of the pain threshold and antipyresis through action on the hypothalamic heat regulating center. Acetaminophen is equal to aspirin in analgesic and antipyretic effectiveness and it is unlikely to produce many of the side effects associated with aspirin and aspirin-containing products. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic amine which provides temporary relief of nasal congestion. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant which provides temporary relief of coughs due to minor throat irritations that may occur with the common cold.

    TYLENOL® Flu NightTime Gelcaps contains the same clinically proven analgesic-antipyretic and decongestant as TYLENOL Flu Day Non-Drowsy Gelcaps along with an antihistamine. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine which helps provide temporary relief of runny nose and sneezing. TYLENOL Cold & Flu Severe Daytime Liquid with Cool Burst™ contains the same clinically proven analgesic - antipyretic, decongestant and cough suppressant as TYLENOL Flu Day Non-Drowsy Gelcaps . TYLENOL® Cold & Flu Severe NightTime Liquid with Cool Burst™ contains the same clinically proven analgesic-antipyretic, decongestant and cough suppressant as TYLENOL Flu Day Non-Drowsy Gelcaps along with an antihistamine.
