Tylenol Extra Strength Go Tabs Review

Earlier this year I had a whirlwind weekend and chain of events that left me with a pounding headache.  As usual I found myself in the middle of nowhere, in pain, and with no Tylenol in my purse.  I stopped at the nearest drugstore looking for one of those 2 pills for a dollar envelopes of Tylenol and found none.  And that's kind of a good thing because I found something better - Tylenol Go Tabs.

Go Tabs are basically chewable Tylenol that tastes like mint.  No water needed, just pop two in your mouth, chew, swallow and the pain melts away. They contain the same active ingredient as regular Tylenol (500 mg of acetaminophen in each tab) and come individually sealed in a plastic blister.  They can be used just like regular Tylenol for headache, menstrual cramps, fever, muscle aches, backache, etc. 

Dosage: for adults and kids over 12 chew 2 tabs every 4 to 6 hours and do not exceed 8 tabs in a 24-hour period. It should not be given to children under 12 years of age.

My head hurt so bad that I actually cracked the package open while on line in Walgreen's (the line was long!) and popped one in my mouth. The mint green colored tab tasted like mint and did not taste great but wasn't horrible either.  The aftertaste was a bit medicinal but my headache was gone within a half hour and I did not need water so I consider GoTabs a great success.

I now keep GoTabs in my purse as it's easy to carry a few of them right in my wallet at all times.  They are very convenient and effective for those pains that come out of no where that I used to be unprepared to fight off. 

My package of 6 GoTabs was $3.50 which is crazy but totally worth it for the convenience factor alone.  When I'm in pain I'm willing to pay nearly anything for relief.
