Pricewise, how does it compare for equal amounts of medicine?

I think the liquid form is a factor. It becomes more of a topical product instead of having to travel all through the bloodstream before getting to your throat. I think it would soothe your throat as you swallow it.

I had the same experience last month. I bought the Tylenol Sore Throat, and thne looked at the ingredients at home -- felt kinda stupid. Believe me, the liquid form and the "honey" flavor in it doesn't do much for your sore throat that ordinary tylenol doesn't.

I'm fairly certain that the Sore Throat version is more expensive, but I'll check.

Barbara has a valid point, but not being a doctor, I wonder if having a thick goo go down one's throat is just a placebo or not.

As the aforementioned duped girlfriend, I can say that I was most annoyed by the fact that the Sore Throat version costs a pretty penny more than the regular old Tylenol -- or generic Acetaminophin (sp?), as I tend to buy. I don't remember the exact cost, but the Sore Throat only has four or five dosages in it, so I'm sure it's just a good way for them to make more money.

The price for Sore Throat versus regular ol' Tylenol.

At these prices, Tylenol costs roughly 14 cents a dose; Sore Throat costs 57 cents a dose! (Tylenol dose = 2 tablets; Sore Throat = 30mL, per the box.)

Paul -- wow. That is quite a price difference.

Good job pointing this out. :)

For what it's worth, Tylenol can have a topical effect. When I first got braces as a kid, I swished with liquid Children's Tylenol (didn't swallow it though) to numb the pain. It tasted horrible, but it did help. Still though, it sounds like the Sore Throat stuff isn't worth it.

You know, when I was your age, we had to actually look stuff up. Not simply go to Google, type in a word, and then spam every site with a comment or feedback form asking for help.

Pathetic.
