(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Even after the “season to be jolly” departs, the “season to be sneezing, sniffling and coughing,” is still going strong. The cold and flu season is looming large, but this year there’s something new that can help you feel more comfortable as you battle your way through the mildest cold, or the most difficult. This year there’s SymptomPak™.
A First Aid Kit for Colds
SymptomPak™SymptomPak
is like a first aid kit for your cold. It is a small, blue box that features five of the ingredients most often needed for colds, cough, fever, and flu. The individual ingredients come in separate bottles, rather than in one multi-symptom pill or liquid. This means you can treat only the symptoms you have, instead of taking doses of medication for symptoms you don’t have. Have a runny nose, but no cough or congestion? Take a dose from the chlorpheniramine 2mg bottle. Have a cough, but no fever? Take a dose of dextromethorphan 10mg. It just makes so much sense and gives new meaning to the concept of “less is more.”
SymptomPak™SymptomPak
makes having a cold even more manageable by including a small pill box in the “Pak”, so you can take your chosen medication(s) with you when you leave home. And, when a bottle of a specific ingredient is empty, you can refill it by buying just that one ingredient and replacing it in the kit. Each bottle in the “Pak” contains 30 tablets and refills contain 60 tablets.
“When most people have a cold or flu they tend to buy remedies that may, in fact, be a little bit of overkill,” said Kent Adams, COO of Essential Home OTCs, the maker of SymptomPak™. “In reality, you don’t need a lot of what is contained in most cold remedies and why take ingredients you don’t need? It just doesn’t make good sense.”
What it Contains
Each SymptomPak™SymptomPak
provides bottles of phenylephrine 5mg to relieve nasal and sinus congestion, dextromethorphan 10mg to suppress coughing, guaifensin 200 mg for chest congestion and to thin and loosen mucus. The “Pak” also contains chlorpheniramine 2mg to relieve runny nose, sneezing and itchy, watery eyes, as well as low dose acetaminophen 325mg to help relieve body aches, sore throat and headache, and to reduce fever. The kit also contains an easy-to-read chart that helps match your symptoms to the right medications to facilitate making the right choice when treating your specific symptoms.
Developed by Pharmacists
SymptomPak™SymptomPak
was developed by Chad Harrison, CEO of Essential Home OTCs, while attending the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy. It is the result of his determination to help consumers navigate the often confusing OTC medicine aisle and ensure that consumers have the ability to easily, accurately and safely treat their symptoms. While working in various pharmacies, Chad noticed that too often consumers were confused by the hundreds of products marketed to alleviate the symptoms of cold, cough, flu, and allergy. Using his knowledge of OTC cold and flu products, Mr. Harrison created SymptomPak™; a ground-breaking, yet simple, concept.
“Pak” Up Your Cold Symptoms
Additionally, SymptomPak™SymptomPak
provides a safer alternative for children 6 to 18, expectant mothers, and seniors, by lessening the risk of improper over-medication and drug interactions. It leads the market in compliance with pharmacy school, FDA, CDC, AMA, and NIH recommendations on cough, cold, and flu treatment.
