We got this Vicks Dayquil when this last cold, flu, whatever sickness it was ran through our house. We bought the 6 fluid oz bottle of non-drowsy liquid syrup for about $5.99 at Walmart. My husband and I each got different results when we used it. So I am going to give you two different sides of it. First, let’s look at the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS LISTED & THEIR PURPOSE (In each 15...

I have an odd metabolism in that what works for 90% of the population, usually doesn't work for me.  If side effects don't affect 90% then I'll be in the 10% that side-effects are a definite.Contac Complete Cold & Flu tablets don't work for me unfortunately.  I have been fighting a cold which has more symptoms and kick backs than - well - I won't go there, but ...

I really don't like this medication AT ALL!!  My chemical makeup is wacky enough and to be honest, this medication takes me on a trip you wouldn't believe!  I hear voices, people talking that aren't there, singing, music - all not there!  I go in and out of sleep continuously...the list goes on. With this medication I think I come as close to knowing and understanding...

Over the past week I've been fighting a gloriously wonderful, symptom filled cold and as you can tell from my run on cold and flu reviews :) I've been having a hard time finding something that works for me.  Benylin1, my favorite by far, is probably one of the few cold and flu medications that I have taken more than a few times the past week and finally, I can say with no uncertain...

I bought this product a week ago, desperate for anything to alleviate my symptoms. I had previous success with the Zicam Nasal Gel. On the bottle, it says "any flavor" and "Virtually taste free when mixed in any hot or cold beverage". My first dose, I took straight. I wasn't thirsty and just wanted to take some medication and head for bed. I should have listened to the p...

 I purchased this nighttime medicine and I am very pleased with the results. I have the cherry flavor. I have found this to work as well as the name brands. Its a good value and I purchased mine on their two for one sale. It works really well on cold and flu symptoms. It takes care of pain, fever, and cough. It helped me to get a goodnights sleep. I do recommend this product and I will con...

 Flu Relief Therapy is a great nightime medicine when you have flu symptoms. It is really good if you have a severe cold. I will not say that it has the best taste. I will say that it works. It did help me to get rest and it did reduce the discomfort of the fever and cough. I have the cherry flavor. It also helps with body discomforts and aches and pains. It is ten percent alcohol. It does...

I hate getting sick, but working in an enclosed office all day and living with a child in the house all night, means that eventually, I'll probably end up catching something.  If I do have to be sick, though, the last thing I want to do is suffer through every minute of it awake, dwelling on just how miserable I'm feeling.  That's where NyQuil comes in. This stuff is great...

I've dabbled in a number of cold medications but I often return to this one.  CONTAC Complete Cough, COld & Flu offers surprisingly good supression of common cold symptoms such as running nose, cough and fever.  As well, some versions also include additional vitamin C to give you another shot at defeating the cold quickly.  I've taken up to 3 a day and enjoyed symptom...

I purchased my Equate Nite Time Multi-Symptom Cold/Flu Relief 10 fl oz Cherry Flavor at Walmart for $2.49.  It is a clear bottle with child proof screw off cap.  The liquid is a deep red color. Each tablespoon of Equate Nite Time Multi-Symptom Cold/Flu Relief contains acetaminophen 500 mg for pain relief and reduction of fever, dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg for cough and doxylamine ...

We have had a bad run of cold and flu in my family over the past two weeks. If you are like me you do not have time to let illness keep you down. I was pleased to find so many options when I went to find medication that would be effective and quick and tasty! I opted for the Theraflu Flu & Sore Throat that was Natural Apple Cinnamon flavored. They did have Lemon, Lemon with Honey and many m...

Whenever that I have a horrible cold, or when my neck is sore or something is going wrong with me and I don't feel that great, I always drink two tablets of Tylenol Flu. I really have to tell you that when you drink this wait like two hours, and it feels like nothing was wrong with you. I really think this is better then any other medicine for a cold because it really shows its effectivenes...

I hardly ever get sick, but last winter I got a doozie of a flu bug!  Not only did I have all the aches and fever that go along with the flu, I also had a nagging cough!  It seemed that the cough worsened when the evening came, and it was time for bed.  This resulted in no sleep, or interrupted sleep due to my coughing attacks.  Ugh!  I needed some relief!I dragged myse...

Buckley's is known for being the cough and cold medicine with the most nasty taste.  As a child, our parents would always test the validity of our claim to "have a bad cold" by bringing out a bottle of Buckleys.   Funny how quickly those colds cleared up!Thankfully, there is a second part to Buckley's claim to fame:  it works!  And now, buckleys has a ...

Colton is usually hit hard by allergies , and not long after school starts he will end up with a cold, just like clock work. Our pharmacist has recommended us giving him Vick's NyQuil Cold & Flu this time. I am not sure this is one we want to stick with for him.First off, it smells horrible, but I could not tell him that, but he did inform me it tasted "yucky", he said it was ...

CareOne Multi-Symptom Cold and Flu Relief in the Original Flavor is a really good product that I try to keep on hand. I am the type of person who catches every cold that goes around. Being a college student, I'm always exposed to germs, so this is a great product to have. When I have a cold, I'm miserable at night. This medicine deals with all the different symptoms, whether you are stu...

If you are sick, achy, tired, with a runny nose, coughing, sore throat, and congestion-or a combination of any of those, try Theraflu.  This stuff is great.  They have several formulas designed to alleviate the symptoms that you have without overmedicating yourself for things you don't have.  The one I tend to use the most is the Flu and Sore Throat one.  If you read the...

 Well, as some of you know, I managed to get myself a bug! Needless to say I was feeling pretty rough and went down to get some cold meds. I'm not one for taking a lot of meds and DEFINITELY not one for how some of them give you that "medicine head" or groggy feeling!  I hadn't tried the Thereaflu warming and figured I'd give it a try. I liked the fact that it wa...

Band-Aid Isopropyl Alcohol has been my sanitizer and cleaning agent for more than 5 years. Before, I usually use it to clean my workstation particularly my keyboard and mouse and to sanitize my hand every morning upon arrival to work. I always have a bottle of alcohol in the office. Then I started bringing it on my bag wherever I go, to keep me clean. But sometimes, carrying the 150mL bottle is...

I have been taking TheraFlu for years, but this was my first time trying the flu and chest congestion natural citrus flavor.  I had a hard time getting over the way it tasted, because this flavor tastes horrible, you definitely taste the citrus flavor, it tastes like there's real lemon and oranges in there.  I must say though that the effectiveness of this product is great it...
