How Does Cold Medicine Work?

Amazing as it may seem, there is still no cure for the common cold. Why? Because colds are caused by some 200 different viruses, making development of a vaccine or treatment very difficult.¹

Every year, about 22 million school days² and 150 million workdays are lost because of the common cold.³ But you and your children don’t have to suffer through miserable cold symptoms.

Cold combination medicines like Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu provide relief for your symptoms.

Here’s how they work⁴:

Decongestants shrink blood vessels in the lining of the nose. As a result, less blood is able to flow through the nasal area, and swollen tissue inside the nose gets smaller. Found in products such as: Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu.
Antihistamines lock your body’s receptors that trigger itching, nasal irritation, sneezing and mucus production. Found in products such as: Children’s Robitussin Nighttime Cough Long-Acting DM.

Amazing as it may seem, there is still no cure for the common cold.

Cough suppressants control your cough: Some block the cough reflex (antitussives), while expectorants thin mucus in the lungs to help clear airways and make coughs more productive (expectorants). Found in products such as: Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu and Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough + Chest Congestion DM.
Analgesics, like acetaminophen, temporarily reduce fever and provide relief from aches and pains associated with colds, like headaches or body aches. Found in products such as: Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu.
