Pabron Gold A

Pabron Gold A, the most famous "household staple" cold and flu medicine in Japan.

Manufactured by Taisho Pharmaceutical, it is a comprehensive multi-symptom remedy. While it comes in both tablets and granules (sachets), the image shows the granule/powder version, which is known for absorbing quickly into the system.
