Advil Cold and Sinus Caplets Review Summary

Anybody who has suffered from cold and allergy symptoms knows how annoying they are, but our reviewers think that Advil Cold and Sinus Caplets may be the answer. “This drug clears my head in 30-40 minutes, realiably, every time” says one allergy sufferer. Barb166302 says, "Advil Cold & Sinus has just the right amount of decongestant to help alleviate my symptoms but not leave me zoning out." Of course, curing allergy and cold symptoms is one thing, but what about side effects? “I did not experience any of the typical side effects such as sleepiness or living in a ‘foggy’ world”, says one reviewer. As for the negatives; some of our reviewers felt that Advil Cold and Sinus was a bit on the expensive side as well as can be habit forming. Krayz warns, "this product is the best out there on the market, but it can also be very addicting and can cause one to feel spaced out at times." This is one of the products that you have to get from behind the pharmacy counter, so if you don't want to wait you may want to consider other allergy and sinus medication.

I have been plagued by sinus problems for as long as I can remember and even though my condition isn't serious or really anything to worry about, it can still get very annoying since it can interfere with other things. It can dull the senses of smell and taste and cause a distraction that continues throughout the day if left untreated. One product that helps eliminate sinus and other related problems is Advil Cold and Sinus Caplets, an over the counter medicine with many benefits.

I actually had to stop taking these a few years back. The product is the best out there on the market, but it can also be very addicting and can cause one to feel spaced out at times (this is why you have to show your license to purchase now...they make Crystal Meth out of the contents of these pills). I would recommend if you have a sever sinsu problem, go see and allergist and get shots; take these only if you need them from time to time.

Like most individuals, I suffer from the occasional cold.  I also suffer from seasonal allergies.  For both conditions I suffer similar symptoms, i.e. headache, sore throat, stuffy nose.  I used to have to guess whether to use sinus medicine or cold medicine.  If one did not work, I tried the other.  Fortunately I was introduced to Advil Cold and Sinus.

This medicine targets multiple symptoms associated with both colds and sinus attacks.  I have found the pill takes care of all the symptoms I experience.  My headache and sore throat are gone.  My nose is clear allowing me to breathe. ...

I'm often congested, and I find that the new phenylephrine drugs simply do not work for me. Pseudoephedrine, the active ingredient in Advil Cold & Sinus, DOES work for me. Even though I have to go to the pharmacy counter, sign an agreement, have my driver's license information recorded, and keep track to be sure I don't buy too much, it's worth it. This drug clears my head in 30-40 minutes, reliably, every time, and relieves the pain of sinus/nasal congestion pressure. I've never found anything else, even other pseudoephedrine-containing medicines, that works as well. And the caplets have that... review »

It is completely worth the aggravation of having to show your ID every time you buy Advil Cold & Sinus. I have tried them all. It works fast and makes you feel better. It does not make you sleepy during the day.

Advil Cold & Sinus is a must-have.  It is the only pill that makes serious headaches go away.  Don't be put off by "Cold & Sinus" - most often, headaches are associates with sinus problems, and this is why this pill works so well in treating them.  My friend, who works at a pharmacy, hears from many customers how much they love and recommend this product.

Advil Cold and Sinus Caplets are the best! I don't like taking medicine but when your in pain these are the best pain killers that I have found. They helped me when I had a bad toothache and also when I had an earache. The only thing I dislike is the fact that you have to sign for them everytime you buy them. They are also the only medicine that seems to get rid of my headaches. Having had problems with my ears and a bad tooth I've tried a lot of medicine and this is the only medicine that helps. Now whenever I get sick this is what I go buy. I also like the fact that you can get the nondrowsy...

Everyone comes down with a cold. Sometimes often, sometimes just occasionally. And all of us have gone to the local drug store and picked up one remedy or the other. I've really never found any of these products to offer much if any relief. Until I bought Advil Cold & Sinus. I first bought it before the government ruling that these drugs, and all others with a special ingredient, must be held behind the counter. Now I must show id and sign my name to get this drug. Not the most convenient, but in this case worth it. I find this product to actually work and will never switch to one of the others....

I have seasonal allergies and could never find anything that actually worked..something that I could feel working.  A co-worker gave me 2 Advil cold and sinus one day and wow! Within about 30 minutes I could breathe.  I have never felt any side effects. I do agree with another viewer, it can be a little addicting.  I found myself taking them if I had a little sniffle.  I would suggest taking them if you are really congested.  My son has severe allergies and I had yet to find something that works for him.  I finally had him try these one day before school and he came home to tell me that he...

Advil Cold and Sinus is a very good medicine for seasonal allergies.  It helps to relieve pressure and sinus headaches.  It is reasonably priced compared to other similar priced allergy medicines.  It works much better than similar store brand medications.  The only problem that seems to occur is because of new laws this medication has to be purchased directly from a pharmacy counter.  This can be sometimes not very practical when it is after hours and the store may still be open but the pharmacy counter is closed.  However, I can understand the reason for this because of the possible illegal...

I flipped out when suddenly I couldn't find Advil Cold and Sinus anywhere. It's the only cold medicine that works for me.  They had to change how they sold the item due to misuse by some miscreants, but I'm so glad it's back. It's the only product, (I'VE TRIED THEM ALL) that truly works!! Just take one of these in the morning and you're good all day long. I doesn't make you drowsy, which is important to me when I have lots of running around to do.  Even if you're really sick it calms those aches and pains so you can still get the important things you need to do, get done.  Advil Cold and Sinus...

I typically used a different cold and sinus medication. I went to my local grocery store one day with an awful sinus headache only to find they did not carry my brand. I recognized the Advil brand and bought it in hopes of finding some relief. I took it as soon as I got home, within about 30 minutes my headache had diminished to almost non existence. I was able to go on with my day and enjoy the weekend off from work. I did not experience any of the typical side effects such as sleepiness or living in a "foggy" world. Thanks Advil for making my weekend off better.

Living in Texas, I get sinus headaches whenever the weather changes - which is constantly!  I have had a hard time finding a medicine that didn't leave me falling asleep at my desk.  Advil Cold & Sinus has just the right amount of decongestant to help alleviate my symptoms but not leave me zoning out.  With all the recent laws changing regarding the sale of decongestants, you have to wait in line at the pharmacy to get it, so don't wait until you are already suffering - buy some for your medicine cabinet today!

Great product. Actually does what the box claims. I don't think the price is bad either, considering the amount of pills you get and the effectiveness of them.

24 pills come in a box. The pills are a brownish/reddish in color. The pills are oval in shape.

It is always best to have something on your stomach when you take the pills. Also they should be taken with at least 8 oz. of water.

Advil cold and sinus was really great i highly reccomend it. Advil cold and sinus took my cold right out of me and gave me a little energy to get through the day. The only thing i didnt like was that i had to take it every 3 hours. After 3 hours it wore off and i was dragging and feeling sick again. but my usually month long cold only lasted a week.

Highly suggested for busy moms like me
