Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take Alka-Seltzer Plus Severe Cold & Flu with other cold medicines?
Do not take it with any other drug containing acetaminophen, whether prescription or nonprescription, since many OTC cold, flu, pain, and sleep products contain acetaminophen too. Combining acetaminophen sources can push you over the safe daily limit and risk serious liver damage. Check the active ingredients on every medicine you take and follow the Drug Facts label.
Who should ask a doctor before using this product?
Ask a doctor first if you have liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, a breathing problem such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or a sodium-restricted diet, since each tablet contains sodium. Pregnant or breastfeeding users should also ask a health professional before use.
Is Alka-Seltzer Plus Severe Cold & Flu safe for children?
No. This product is labeled for adults and children 12 years and over only, and should not be given to children under 12. For a child under 12 with cold or flu symptoms, consult a doctor or pharmacist for an age-appropriate product instead of using this tablet, and always keep the package out of reach of children.
How many tablets can I take in 24 hours?
For adults and children 12 years and over, the label directs dissolving 2 tablets in 4 oz of water every 4 hours as needed, without exceeding 6 tablets in any 24-hour period. Do not exceed the recommended dose, since taking more than directed increases the risk of side effects tied to the acetaminophen content specifically.
