Alka-Seltzer Plus® Cold Medicine

There are over 200 different viruses that cause "the common cold." While you may develop a resistance to some of these viruses, contact with others could still cause a new cold. This is why doctors say there is no "cure" for the common cold. But there are effective cold medicines that will provide fast, effective relief from cold symptoms such as fever, headaches, body aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, coughs, and sinus pressure -- for example, Alka-Seltzer Plus.

There are more than ten different formulations of cold medicines in the Alka-Seltzer Plus family of products- find the one that's right for your cold or flu symptoms.

Some Alka-Seltzer Plus products contain an antihistamine to fight your runny nose and sneezing. Others are formulated for your active hours. Some products come in an effervescent formulation. Effervescent Alka-Seltzer Plus cold medication dissolves fast and is ready to go to work the instant you take it. Because the medicines in Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine are in solution prior to ingestion, they do not require time to dissolve in the stomach like similar active ingredients taken in pill form.

The next time a cold strikes, break up your worst cold symptoms fast with Alka-Seltzer Plus.
