This is very easy to take and also easy to carry with you incase you need it while you're on the go. I use this when I feel a cold coming on with no cough or have sinus problems. I like it because it works fast and it's convenient, like all Alka-Seltzer products.

This works better for me than any other OTC cold medicine! Even though it's marketed as COLD medicine, I often use it for seasonal allergies and it works GREAT! I have no side effects from it although I understand that some people experience drowsiness from it.

I LOVE this product. We heat the water first and enjoy a hot sparkling orange drink that truly tastes great, clears your sinuses/nasal passages very quickly, and knocks out the headache faster than any pain medication I've ever tried. We've already blown through 2 boxes of this potion, and we're going on Number 3.

These tablets are very effective. They relieved my symptoms almost immediately, and did make me drowsy, which was okay. The flavor wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated, either; very tolerable.
