Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "It’s been the best, fast-acting cold medication. My family always bought it in Mexico. (Originated from Mexico) But if it’s from Mexico, the ingredients are more potent. Higher mg. But the US brand works great. It’s best to take after a light meal, cuts down on the instant “rush feeling.” For nighttime, I have taken 2 pills (30 minutes or 1 hour apart) knocked me out to get the much-needed rest from flu/cold. Always be cautious of medication; everyone reacts differently."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "Having a nasty cold with a runny nose, sneezing, headache, and sore throat; I figured I'd give this a shot. Within 30 minutes of taking 1 pill, I was feeling relieved of much of my cold symptoms; however, something just didn't feel right! I started getting extremely nervous, with a very high anxiety level. I seriously was freaking out! My heart was pounding like crazy at a fast pace, and I was all over the place. I felt as though I couldn't calm down, and it all seemed to come on suddenly. One minute I was fine, and the next I was losing myself. The side effects seemed to taper off after about 4 hours (it felt like forever), and by this time I should be in bed sleeping? I don't think that's gonna happen soon?"

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "The best cold/flu medicine I have used. It definitely helps me get a better night's rest. And during the day, it makes me feel a lot better, where I almost forget that I am sick. I just take it when I am really sick and need some help getting through the day. I use this about 3 to 5 times a year. No side effects!"

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "This is the best cold medication I have ever taken. We found it in Mexico under the name Tabcin (Bayer product), but a Google search showed that it is the same as Alka-Seltzer Plus. No side effects, doesn't make me drowsy or keep me awake, perfect any time of day, and makes me feel great! I don't know why it is not available in the U.S. or Canada."

"My 14-year-old daughter took two gel tabs for the first time and shortly after became very lethargic. Two hours later, she experienced a seizure. She had a second seizure a day and a half later. She had no history of seizures prior to this and has not had one since. Not sure if it was caused by the meds or simply coincidence. I will never give her that medication again, though, that's for sure!"

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "I tried other medicine with minimal help, with XL-3, I felt back to normal. I wake up feeling like death is coming for me. I take XL-3, and in 45 minutes, I start feeling a LOT better!"

"Product works well if you can survive swallowing the pills. Took the medication and got choked, had to have rescue procedures done on me because I couldn't breathe. The pill would not go down."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "I have taken the green and orange gel capsules every time I get cold symptoms. I love the gel capsules. I tried the tablets that you dissolve in water, but the capsules work way better in my opinion."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine "This product is very effective, but your commercials are extremely goofy. I turn the channel every time one comes on. Bring the Alka-Seltzer boy out of retirement."
