Equate Effervescent Cold Relief
Equate Effervescent Cold Relief, for colds . Compared to Alka -Seltzer Plus these tablets are really effective and taste great. The ingredients in these tablets are better than I expected for treating cold reliefs. Do recommend using for treating and saving money on cold formulas . Great purchase.

It works at a good price and tastes decent, too!
I get a lot of congestion in the winter especially. I always keep this on hand. In the winter, I sometimes use it every day for a while. I like the taste far better than the name brand!!! And the price is good as well. I also like that it contains aspirin instead of Tylenol (which is useless to me). It also helps with my aches and pains. It works!

Generic Alka Seltzer cold
Just like the brand name! I have been fighting a cold, and still going to work, so these are very convenient. I just take a couple of packets with me, and when I need it, I can take it. I have had bad sinus headaches and this does help. The only downfall is it does have a bitter taste at the end. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something quick to knock out your symptoms.
