Robitussin Products Prepare You For The Cold & Flu Season

 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg
With cold and flu season approaching, I wanted to share information about the newest Robitussin® products for any upcoming stories. New this year, Robitussin® – the doctor recommended and #1 pharmacist recommended brand for cough, cold, and flu combinations – has introduced:


  • A maximum strength nighttime formula to control coughs and help sufferers get the sleep they need to feel better
  • New, convenient liquid-filled capsules to control cough on-the-go with all the power of Robitussin's maximum strength DM cough liquid. Perfect for travel, especially around the busy holiday season.
  • There is a variety of products tailored to treat the whole family’s symptoms, including a children’s formula that relieves cough and cold symptoms for up to eight hours. Please find a full fact sheet attached with all product details and photos.


At the peak of the 2012-2013 cold and flu season, nearly 50 million adults and children experienced cold and flu symptoms – six times greater than the population of NYC! Plus, the common cold is a leading cause of doctor visits (100M+ each year), and causes 22 million missed school days and 20 million lost work days in the United States annually.




My Take on the Medicine
I have to say that I am very impressed with how well this works for kids. I have tried other cold medicines with my girls and can honestly say that they do not always have the impact or effect that help my daughters with their symptoms. When I use Robitussin, I never seem to have these problems. I have not tried all of the samples that I received for this review yet, but the ones above were ones that I tried myself and that my daughter tried a week ago when she was sick. The medicine did the trick for both of us as I earlier stated, and it also did not taste as bad as I think it could have (for the adult version) and my daughter took it with no problem, which is always a good sign! All-in-all I have to say that I am impressed and encourage you to also try this out for your family!

New Dramamine® for Kids and Less Drowsy

Dramamine®, the leading brand of motion sickness relief for adults, is expanding its line to include its new offering, just in time for the summer travel season: Dramamine® for Kids.

Dramamine® for Kids treats symptoms on the spot, relieving nausea, dizziness and vomiting and prevents motion sickness before it happens. Moms trust Dramamine®, believe it is safe, and feel comfortable giving it to their kids. Dramamine® for Kids comes in a safe, precise children’s dose, avoiding the need to cut adult tablets.

For adults, Dramamine® Less Drowsy relieves motion sickness symptoms with less drowsiness for up to 24 hours with only one tablet.

Motion sickness is a problem for both adults and kids alike. According to an Omnibus Study in June 2011, 34% of households with children ages 2-12, have a child with motion sickness. This is three times the rate for adult motion sickness (10% of households). Motion sickness is most prevalent in cars, followed by airplanes and boats. Typical symptoms are nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.

“When a family member gets sick on vacation, it’s a problem for the whole family,” says Madeline Blaize, Assistant Brand Manager for Prestige Brands. “Dramamine® for Kids and Dramamine® Less Drowsy can help prevent the problem, allowing everyone to enjoy that long awaited summer trip.”

Dramamine® for Kids comes in a safety travel case with 8 chewable tablets that have a great-tasting grape flavor. Dramamine® Less Drowsy is available in an 8 count travel vial.

For more information on Dramamine® for Kids, Dramamine® Less Drowsy and other Dramamine® products, visit www.dramamine.com.

My Take on the Products
We just got back from a trip and I was very happy to have this new kids product with us as my eldest daughter tends to get car sick when we are on longer trips. With the chewable form (which is good tasting so I am told), my daughter was more than willing to take the medicine that she needed to take and the medicine worked as promised as well. In the past when we had her the regular dramamine she always seemed a bit out of it, drowsy, loopy, and most of the time she would fall asleep soon after taking the medicine. I found with this, that I received the results needed for the ease of stomach issues, without the side effects that we had seen in the past (Yeah!). All-in-all, I was quite impressed and so was my daughter, so thank you Dramamine for this new less drowsy version as it really does work!

Combat Sore Throats with New Drops and ‘Pops’

About the Product
Chloraseptic, the #1 pharmacist-recommended brand for sore throat relief, is expanding its line to include new offerings just in time for the winter cold season. New Warming Sore Throat Lozenges and Sore Throat Lollipops are the latest additions to the leading Chloraseptic line of throat pain relief staples.

Chloraseptic Warming Sore Throat Lozenges, which soothe throats with a warming sensation, are available in Green Tea and Honey Lemon flavors. A number of doctors have long recommended the use of warm beverages, such as tea with honey, as the heat may help decrease throat irritation*, and these lozenges can have a similar effect. In addition to the warming ingredients, the new formula contains real honey and more benzocaine, which helps reduce the pain and temporarily relieve irritation.

Kid-friendly Chloraseptic Medicated Sore Throat Lollipops have a great-tasting formula with a variety of flavors including grape, strawberry and orange. Designed for children over age three, the formula provides fast-acting relief as it soothes sore throat and mouth pain on contact in a way that is appealing to children. The Sore Throat Lollipops are available in a 10 count box of individually wrapped pops.

“We’re constantly looking for innovative ways to provide our consumers with quick and soothing relief for their sore throat pain,” said Jean Boyko, PhD., Senior Vice President, Science & Technology for Prestige Brands, Inc., maker of Chloraseptic products. “For children and parents, our new Chloraseptic lollipops are the perfect solution to help with sore throat pain simply. Our innovative, new warming lozenges have the added consumer benefit of a comfortable, warm sensation to help ease sore throats,” she said.

The new Chloraseptic Sore Throat Lollipops have a suggested retail price of $3.99; the new Warming Sore Throat Lozenges are available in an 18-ct package for $3.99.

In addition to the new items, the Chloraseptic line also includes a variety of easy-to-use over-the-counter (OTC) products including great-tasting lozenges, throat sprays and convenient pocket packs as well. For more information, visit www.chloraseptic.com.

My Take on the Product
These two new products are great ones for the Chloraseptic line. We have used other Chloraseptic products in the past and they always seem to be very effective. That being said I was excited to try out these products. The warming action was an interesting concept as all of their others seem to have a cooling effect. In trying these, I found that they truly do warm your throat leaving your throat feeling great for a while and the warmth really lingers as well. The lollipops are a great concept as what child does not like lollipops. My daughters have sometimes been hesitant in the past to take medicine due to the taste. Chloraseptic has the right idea here making the medicine in a form that is fun for the kids while at the same time putting it in a flavor that they really enjoy as well. If you are looking for some great new products to help you this season in fighting sore throat symptoms, look no further!

Curamin - A New Type of Natural Pain Reliever


Curamin® from EuroPharma’s TerryNaturally brand is an award-winning natural pain reliever and a must for athletes and every household interested in proven and effective natural medicines. Retailers, consumers and major natural products magazines have given Curamin accolades and awards including: 2011 Vity Awards for Best Supplement in three categories from Vitamin Retailer, Better Nutrition's Best of Supplements Award (three years in a row-2008, 2009 and 2010) and WholeFoods 2011 Natural Choice Award as Best Specialty Supplement.
Here’s the scoop on Curamin:
Experience relief from pain like never before with Curamin!  Curamin is an all-natural formula that enhances the body’s natural defense mechanism for the relief of occasional pain. The synergistic blend of BCM-95 curcumin, boswellia and other herbs in Curamin is 20X more powerful than using just plain curcumin. This fast-acting formula combines ingredients with multiple mechanisms of action to support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response and relieve occasional muscle pain due to exercise and overuse.
"My patients are looking for relief from pain so I recommend Curamin. I feel better knowing they are getting results without the side effects."
Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Director of Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers and best-selling author of From Fatigued to FantasticPain Free 1-2-3Beat Sugar Addiction Now! and Real Cause, Real Cure



My Take on the Natural Pain Reliever
I have been trying out this product now for a few weeks now and I have to say that I have been impressed. I have been taking it now for a few weeks and have seen a marked decrease in the pain that I have felt within my hands of late. I am all about trying natural methods for pain relief so this medicine, while a bit more expensive that over-the-counter medicines, is worth it in my books. 



I notice a marked difference when I stop taking the pills and seem to get even better relief than when I simply take over-the-counter medicines. With this in mind, I am more than willing to keep using these into the future and I highly recommend you do the same.
