Alka seltzer plus cold & flu powwermax gels (NOT)
I have been taking Aka Seltzer fiz products for years, good when you are sick but not convient when you need to take medication while away or in the car. I recently bought some alka seltzer plus cold & flu powermax gels. They are great if you can get them down without choking to death! They are oblong round and hard as a rock. They should not be advertised as Gels, they don't flex at all and it hurt my throat and got stuck. I would not recommend.

Does not work
This medication did not work. The day nor the night. It was a huge waste of money. It was my first time trying it. Maybe it’s just my body/chemical make up.

i loved this medicine, had a mini cold and it brought relief instantly, for anyone saying the pill makes you “choke” your not drinking enough water to swallow it. 100% recommendation if your coming down with something.

Almost died
I choked and nearly died in front of my two boys when trying to swallow the first pill. I meant to grab the fizzy tablets but accidentally got these. We’ve had the flu all week now. After I finally got it back up it was still whole and solid as a rock. Why is a liquid pill so hard???? Think I tore something in my throat straining to breathe.

Too fat
I almost choked on it , it’s not easy to swallow. It claims to be 25% smaller but it still is too fat to swallow and I’m used to drinking pills . It’s not user error . I drank more water and it wouldn’t go down then I tried food and it had to be forced down . Pls make smaller pills this can be a choking hazard

It works!
This stuff works!! Everytime I start to feel sick and need to buy medicine this is the one I go for. It’s pretty affordable for how much is in there.

Extremely Disappointing
Terrible. The nighttime medication only kept me asleep for less than 4 hours, and I still woke up feeling awful. When I take the DayQuil/NyQuil brand, I feel a difference after the first night without fail! But this is ridiculous.

Careful ! Water doesn't help them go down easily.
Dangerous! They were the worst pills to take. They did not go down easily. A choking hazard.

MARBLES?
I'll never purchase these again. There are like swallowing marbles. They should be longer & thinner but short & stubby was not a fun pill to swallow. The day gel seems to work well enough. I can't say for the night gels because I take them literally right before getting in bed. I'll stick with the fizzy tablets that I grew up on. These gels aren't slow acting but the fizzy tabs seem to work a little fast. Sorry but I can't recommend this product in it's current gel shape. Oh, I almost forgot. Don't forget scissors unless your hand strength is that of the Incredible Hulk. My God! I couldn't separate the blister pack nor could I rip open the individual pack. Scissors or a knife every time. I'm not the only person stating this issue.

Work really well, but...
I’ve been using this product for years. It’s the only one that actually seems to work. Like other reviewers have said though, the packaging is very hard to open, especially if you aren’t feeling well. Mostly though, the pills themselves are too round and thick and nearly choke me each time I take them. I’m not someone who usually has an issue with taking larger pills at all. If they just elongated them that would probably help. I will still continue to buy them and do recommend, if you can swallow them.

Packaging sucks
As far as medicine it works great, the packaging however is a different matter; fire the person responsible.
