Nighttime Flu Medicine
Rest easy while fighting your cold and flu symptoms with nighttime cold and flu medicine that can help you get some rest even when you're not feeling well.
What are the Best Nighttime Flu Medicine Brands?
Does Nighttime Cold and Flu Medicine Make You Sleep?
Yes, nighttime cold and flu medicine helps to control symptoms and includes ingredients that encourage sleep. Nighttime cold and flu medicine can be sold individually, or sometimes it's sold in a pack with a daytime cold and flu medicine, such as Tylenol Cold + Flu Severe Day/Night Liquid Medicine.
A few ingredients to look for when shopping for nighttime cold and flu medicine are dextromethorphan or doxylamine. One of these two ingredients is typically contained in nighttime cold and flu medicine because they may induce drowsiness. Other options may contain supplements like melatonin.
Daytime formulas generally don't contain ingredients that help you sleep since they're designed to help combat symptoms while you're awake during the day.
How Often Can You Take Nighttime Cold and Flu?
Most manufacturers have their own dosage schedule. This schedule can range from once every 4-6 hours to once per 8-12 hours. Regardless of what the recommended timing is, it’s best to consult the package directions. Liquid formulas generally contain a dosage cup to help you measure the correct amount. Amounts will also be different for children and adults, but the package directions can help you figure out how much to take. Many nighttime cold and flu medicines can be taken nightly for the duration of your sickness as long as it doesn't go beyond a week or two. It's a good idea to consult your doctor if your sickness is persisting.
Throat sprays and lozenges have their own guidelines as well. Check the label of these products too for dosage recommendations.
Where to Buy Nighttime Flu Medicine
