The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 13 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
There’s a cabinet at work that has some basic medications: Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen), and Valihist.
Valihist is an “Antihistamine-Stimulant for allergies, colds, [and] runny nose.”
The back of the package lists the the ingredients as: Acetaminophen 325mg, Caffeine 45mg, Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 5mg, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg.
How many medications contain caffeine? 45mg is about what you get the average can of soda1.
There’s a little note at the top of the package: This medication is made for occupational use, to keep people on the job, safely and productively. Yea, caffeine will do that for you.
