Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold — Fast, Trusted Relief for Your Worst Cold Days

The Original Effervescent Cold Fighter

When a cold hits, you want more than just partial relief — you want something that works fast and covers all the bases. Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold is a tried-and-true multi-symptom remedy trusted by millions to tackle everything from headaches and body aches to nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and runny nose. It combines a time-tested fizz with modern ingredients, helping you get back on your feet when you’re feeling your worst.

Powerful Ingredients in Every Dose

Each effervescent tablet is carefully formulated to relieve a wide range of common cold symptoms in one go:

• Acetaminophen (pain reliever/fever reducer): Helps ease headaches, body aches, and reduces fever.

• Phenylephrine HCl (nasal decongestant): Opens swollen nasal passages and relieves sinus pressure so you can breathe easier.

• Chlorpheniramine Maleate (antihistamine): Helps control sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes.

These active ingredients work together quickly — thanks to the signature fizz that dissolves fast and gets to work almost immediately.

How It Works — Sip Away Your Symptoms

What sets Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold apart is its effervescent delivery system. Just drop two tablets into a glass of water and watch them dissolve into a refreshing, slightly citrus-flavored drink. No swallowing big pills, no thick syrup to choke down. The fizzy formula helps your body absorb the active ingredients more quickly than traditional tablets, so you feel relief fast.
