[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This produced worked as expected. This is our go to cold and flu product that we keep stocked up. This is a product that you have to consistently use, it's not going to miraculously take away all symptoms but with consistency, we got to feeling better sooner.

The original Alca Seltzer Plus Cold medicine was great. Used it for years. Unfortunately they had to mess with success and ruin it in the process. The new formula tastes terrible, the old formula actually tasted good. Why do these companies always have to ruin a good thing. Very disappointed in the new formula Power Fast Fizz = Failure!

I was not impressed with this medicine at all. It did not help. It did not give relief to my runny nose or sore throat. So I’m quite disappointed in this product

I really like the presentation of the product, it dissolves quickly and easily, it has a good flavor and is pleasant to the palate, in addition to the fact that it relieves the discomfort of general ailments, I really love it, I recommend it.

Not my go to but it’s an okay product to use. Fizzy stuff isn’t exactly my fave. I haven’t really gotten sick so I don’t get to use it.

I love this product. I woke up with a cough and stuffy nose, popped tablet into my water in the morning and then another in the evening and by the next day I felt so much better! I would definitely recommend, but also want to say it doesn't work for everyone, my brother doesn't tend to have. luck with these but I do. But if you haven't tried it definitely give it a go this cold season!

I had to wait until someone got sick to review this. I guess fortunately I just got a cold. Anyway, I took these for a few days. I hate a headache, sneezing, runny nose, aches. I don't think I really noticed a difference or that it helped in anyway. It didn't taste bad like some other tablets, but wasn't great. I have a few left so I'd give them a second chance next time I get sick.

I received these at a perfect time, I wasn’t feeling good and was exhausted. They’re really fast acting and I started to notice my congestion was clearing and my other symptoms were going away as well. I definitely recommend this!

I have had sinus congestion and head cold symptoms for a couple days (not covid, thankfully). so I used these tablets this morning. they didn't make me drowsy which was awesome. they dissolved easily into water and tasted alright--like lemon Clorox flavored sparkle water? lol. but my symptoms didn't really go away. I'd bet that your mileage varies depending on symptoms and stuff.

These Alka-Seltzer Plus tablets were great to try when I was under the weather. I especially liked that these tablets had a fast onset for relief. The taste is very sweet, the bubbles don’t last long but they help the medicine settle in the belly a little nicer.

This is so effective especially for this winter's flu season & for any flu like symptoms one may experience during the year. Just drop the tablet in water, drink after it dissolves then relax & watch your symptoms dissolve as well.

A unique approach to cold meds

I appreciate the unique delivery here of asprin, antihistamine, and decongestant. I had never before heard of a fizzing tablet that would do all of these things and tended to associate this brand with antacids. This is a great alternative for folks who find pills difficult to swallow or for those trying to avoid the gelatine that is so ubiquitous in cold and flu gel caps. Really innovative!
