| mattjoe's Full Review: Comtrex Sore Throat Relief |
Friday I had the sore throat to end all sore throats. Or, as Saddam Hussein would probably have called it: "The Mother of all Sore Throats"
I was so close to actually going to the doctors office for this flu/cold/bronchitis thing I have going on here, which has placed me on the disabled list, instead, I went to Stop & Shop. I grew fed up basically drinking the last remaining bottle of Chloraseptic I had (expired in 4/1996, didn't work anymore) so after a day of not wanting to do anything at work, I hurried to the store to find ANYTHING, anything at all for sore throat relief.
There it was, a different kind of spray, which read, "for minor sore throat pain" GARBAGE! I grunted with a raspy, barely audible voice. And then I saw it, in all its brown and golden glory...... COMTREX NEW SORE THROAT -RELIEF-
Well, it was certainly a new sore throat I had, it wasn't there the other morning. "Immediately Soothes Pain" OH MAN! I HAVE BEEN SENT MANNA FROM HEAVEN! Grabbing the box, I saw also: "Relief for up to 6 hours" Whoa, tonight I may actually not die! I thought. I glanced down once more and read "$6.29" Hating to spend anything on something I can't enjoy, I felt bad. This is expensive! But I hurried to the express lane, grabbing some more Robitussin, some pineapple juice and some cough drops on the way. I proceeded to beat the man in front of me in the express lane to death with the can of juice for acting as though he didn't know he'd have to pay and therefore taking to long to come up with the money so I could cash out my stuff and take my medication. (OK, so that was only in my dreams) But I paid, hurried out to my car, and tore open the package.
Dose- fill up little shot glass to the top, and drink it!
Oooo that was sort of like honey, after all, I did have Honey Lemon flavor. Mmm that is pretty tolerable for medicine.
Then what happened?
About 10 or 15 minutes later, it all started to go away. IT'S TRUE!
I was about to experience IMMEDIATE SORE THROAT RELIEF!
After 20 minutes, I was able to actually swallow my own spit without pain for the first time all day! It was a wonderful thing which I normally take for granted. (Sure beat spitting in a coffee cup all day)
Did it last me the full 6 hours? Just short of the six hours, and that was probably because I was trying to empty my indoor swimming pool, and the draft from outdoors got to me. (I didn't have an indoor swimming pool before yesterdays storm)
So I took some more, in fact, I only took half a dose after that, and I was all better just in time for bed!
I woke up today, and only had a hint of a sore throat, so, another half dose, and I was good to go.
I never heard of COMTREX before. But now, I want to give them my first born. I feel I owe them that much. Comtrex says: "When you have a painful, raw, scratchy sore throat, you want relief as soon as possible. And you want that relief to last as long as possible too." AMEN TO THAT, COMTREX!
Now important stuff is, Comtrex has 1000 mg of Acetaminophen, which my Nurse told me is the same thing as Tylenol. The box told me that if I consume 3 or more alcoholic beverages a day I should ask my doctor whether I should take acetaminophen, as it may cause liver damage. Since I only drink 20 drinks in the course of a week, and all on weekends, I figured I'd be alright.
Children under 12, take half the adult dose.
Pregnant or breast feeding women, ask your doctor.
And of course, if redness or swelling is present, stop and ask a doctor.
SIDE EFFECTS:
I didn't notice any. But I did sleep for over 12 hours last night.
COMTREX Sore Throat Relief apparently also relieves minor aches and pains associated with muscular aches, headaches and colds. It is also a fever reducer.
COMTREX IS THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING!
ALL BOW BEFORE COMTREX!
