"This is the best cold medication I have ever taken. We found it in Mexico under the name Tabcin (Bayer product), but a Google search showed that it is the same as Alka-Seltzer Plus. No side effects, doesn't make me drowsy or keep me awake, perfect any time of day, and makes me feel great! I don't know why it is not available in the U.S. or Canada."
