Contac Severe Cold and Flu is Good for Certain Symptoms
A really tough cold or flu needs a maximum strength medicine that will fight back against a wide range of symptoms. One medicine that claims to do just that is **Contac Severe Cold and Flu.** ** ** **Medicine Commentary:** Contac Severe Cold and Flu contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen 500mg, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 15mg, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride 30mg, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg. These ingredients go after cold symptoms such as headache, congestion, runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, fever, and body aches. In other words, this product has ingredients that can attack most any symptom common to cold or flu sufferers. There is certainly a good deal of symptom- fighting ingredients here and Contac Severe Cold and Flu makes many lofty claims. But is this medicine really as good as it seems? Well, the answer is yes and no. I find that this product is very good at drying up the runny nose and eliminating congestion and pain from the head and body. But its ability to lessen the pain from a sore throat or the annoyance of a cough is not that good. I find that I need to take a supplement or two when I use this product. That is generally what I expect with many medicines, because most medicines do not make these claims and need a little help for maximum relief. Contac Severe Cold and Flu should be taken every six hours (2 caplets at a time) for best relief. This is a little better than the four hours of relief common with many medications. You may find that you need your next round of tablets sooner than six hours, however, because the effectiveness of this product fizzles out after hour five. **Bottom Line Viewpoint:** Contac Severe Cold and Flu is an acceptable medicine for pain and congestion related relief, but I have found that it cannot handle all of the symptoms that it claims. It needs a little assistance for coughs and sore throats and for this reason, I can only rate it average overall. Congestion Relief Congestion relief is one of this product's best qualities Chest Congestion Relief Chest congestion relief is acceptable Relief of Aches & Pains Some aches and pains, especially headache, experience relief Cough Suppression Not the best product for this symptom
