Rated 3 out of 5 by Cmf7 from Easy open, but no relief I really appreciated how easy it was to snap a pill out and peel back the cover. It’s hard to find something accessible! However, my nose is still so stuffed and this isn’t helping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Black Friday Flu I was coming down with flu like symptoms and a sore throat (Tis’ the season) the night before I had to work retail on Black Friday. The pharmacist at shoppers recommended Tylenol Flu, and I think this comes to as close as a holy grail product as any off the shelf medicine gets. It put me through the whole 9 hour shift, no aches, no pain, no chills, no congestion (didn’t change the dry cough) and I was feeling really great. I didn’t have to miss out on work!! nighttime doesn’t make me too drowsy but it helped me sleep much better than the night before, if you do have the flu though please see a doctor immediately, this came as a last minute only choice option for me and it’s really GREAT!!
