Airborne Effervescent Health Formula Dietary Supplement Tablets, Adult Formula

Pros: Few if any.
Cons: A primarily useless dietary supplement.

This is a perfect example of psychosomatic medicine. I remember an old Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin, claiming to have discovered the best narcotic in the world. He said (don't tell anyone) it's called a placebo. 150 years ago, quack doctors ...

Pros: The pros are these tablets work!!!
Cons: None at all. The taste was not a factor to me.

Yesterday I felt a virus coming on. I had already purchased Airborne but had not used it yet. I took a tablet and it did just what it promises, it killed the virus that I felt coming probably surely brought on by this strange cold weather here in Chicago in mid August. I will swear to the fact that I immediately started to feel better very soon after swallowing down this magic formula. Who cares about taste when the products does its job. I will swallow a brick if it would make me fell better. A bit pricey in some drug chains but Walmart sells it for $5.00 and some change. Well worth it. Check your local Target stores too.
The bottom line is this, this product will have you up and around in no time flat, run don't walk and purchase these miracle tablets! God bless the woman who invented Airborne!!!!

Pros: I actually love the lemon flavor. its like medicated crystal light.It may work?
Cons: Expensive... it may not work?

Tried airborne a couple times at first notice of feeling weird... still got extremely sick. Looking at the ingredients I'm not so sure... they are all pretty normal herbs I could get fresh around the corner for cheaper... and some have had very mixed results (take Echinacea for instance...) I dunno... I'd rather just get quality herbs/vitamins of the ones that I know work (for less money), and plenty of rest.

Pros: It got rid of my cold! Need I say any more?
Cons: expensive

I took it at the first signs of getting a cold...and it worked!! It was awesome! I just can't say enough about the product. I don't know if I overkilled it, because I took it for three days, or until the product was gone. That is the one problem with this product is it doesn't tell you when to stop taking it. But all in all, well recommended!

Pros: You can totally avoid a cold, or heal quickly if you have one already
Cons: I wish it was cheaper ($7), plus stores that carry it run out frequently

This is fantastic stuff. It works. When I feel a cold coming on, such as runny eyes, sneezing all day, using up a box of tissues, etc., if I take this, and I usually take it with Alacer Emer'gen-C (www.alacer.com/home.htm) or Electrolyte Stamina Power Pak (www.traceminerals.com/products/elstpwrpak.html), I *will not* get the cold. I've bought this for my whole family and they all keep it stocked now. The stores near me can't keep it on the shelves, and this is because of word of mouth. My brother had a cold recently that would not go away - endless coughing and sneezing. This was right after I found Airborne. So I brought him the goods and by the next day after taking one dose he was on the mend.

Pros: Might help some people psychologically (placebo effect), however, read our cons.
Cons: Side effects to recommended doses can be terrible; no mention of this on packaging.

I've had 3 colds while taking Airborne this season, a record for me. I had none the year before, and only one the year before that. If Airborne helps anyone, I think it must be psychological, which if perfectly fine if it works. However, be warned; taking the recommended dosage on the package can make you very, very sick. My sister became nauseous and dizzy; I, too, became very dizzy with severe diarrhea; and our mother practically passed out from taking 3 doses in 12 hours. I would say this is a little like the old snake oil the traveling salesman used to sell, except Airborne has the ability to actually make you feel worse. There probably should some control over this high dosage or, at least, a warning label.

Pros: If your wallet seems heavy, this'll lighten it right up for you!!
Cons: That it doesnt work at all, and doesnt taste good. Try Flinestones instead!!!!!!

I bought a tube of airborne because I work at one of the retailers, so I saw it often. I bought it and started to take it, to keep from getting a cold that my mom and brother always seem to get. Well, I took it, and I have a cold RIGHT now. I just took one, just to see if it could redeem itself. I had really high hopes for this icky tasting Alka_Seltzers! They taste bad and they DONT help!!!

Pros: Will kill germs trying to enter in to make you ill
Cons: Expensive for just 10 pills

I was not sure if I wanted to spend 6 dollars for 10 tablets when I wasn't even sure if it was going to work. However I gave it a try because everyone in my family goes on and on about how great the stuff is. I woke up Sunday morning with my throat feeling funny and my glands in my neck swollen. Coming from a person who gets about 10 colds every winter, I knew this was the first sign of a long two weeks of coughing, sneezing, and over all feeling pretty miserable. I took 3 doses of the medicine and to my surprise all my symptoms disappeared within 24 hours. I sing every week and I have to make sure I have my voice so I was willing to try anything and now that I have tried Airborne I make sure I keep a tube of it in my purse!

Pros: Stops colds before they get really bad.Reduces trips to the doctor for antibiotics.
Cons: It used to be out of stock. Now it is stocked well.

I have told every one I've met who has cold or flu symptoms about this product! I started using it for my children (half of tablet for kids ) back in 2004 after seeing the inventor on Oprah.
We no longer have to take antibiotics as we used to.
I highly recommend this product, I can't express how grateful I am to have it !

Pros: It got rid of the cold symptoms quickly!
Cons: I had an immediate reaction of itching and rash all over my body.

I wanted to caution people because though I took it to lessen the oncoming cold symptoms, once they'd subsided I broke out into a massive rash from the feet to the neck. It wasn't raised like a penicillin rash but, then, I realized that people who had asthma reacted to the herbal ingredients in the product.

I ended up going to the doctor because the itching would not stop even with an anti histamine tablet they suggested I take.
The doctor said that as I'd taken the tablets every three hours at the onset of the cold, not changed anything else in my day, this was probably the culprit.

Please don't overdo it if you've had asthma or allergies to plants in the same family as echinacea.

Pros: It works well.
Cons: Not crazy about the taste.

I am in and out of Dr's office alot with my uncle so i decided to try Airborne. So far i have not been sick.
There have been nights when i really felt like i was coming down with something and i took this and to my surprise the next day i felt great. So i would say it really worked for me.

Pros: Helps to ward off colds and/or lessens the impact of a cold.
Cons: This product contains a lot of sodium. Use caution when taking this product.

This is a very good product to help ward off colds, etc. I have used it many times and will use it again. I always keep Airborne in my cabinet.

Pros: easy to take, lemon,lime flavor is pretty good.
Cons: wish there were more tablets in the tube.

Started feeling under the weather and while cruising the cough/cold isle at the pharmacy, Airborne caught my eye. I remember seeing the commercials and thought...why not try it. Reading the ingredients it seemed to be a good boost to my immune system, and so far so good. I feel pretty good, no real signs of the cold anymore.

Pros: Causes minimal harm unless you take it daily.
Cons: Ridiculously expensive for the ingredients.

A group of us traveled together and all caught the same cold, including the 4 people taking Airborne. They were convinced that Airborne had made their symptoms milder, but since we all felt that this was a mild cold and none of us missed out on any travel activities, I'm now convinced that Airborne is no better than a good cheap multivitamin.

Pros: Only need to use a small amount of water. Taste is quite tolerable.
Cons: None as long as it remains available in stores!

Typically, I have gotten two colds a year - 1 in summer and 1 in winter. However, last year I ran myself down quite a bit and since October, I have been sick EVERY month with nasty colds and fatigue... until now (June).

I tried Airborne around mid-month when I felt my usual symptoms starting even though they weren't severe. The cold never fully developed and I went back to feeling normal in short order. Then a few days ago, I came down with a bad sore throat, I was sneezing all day and feeling crappy. I ran to several stores that night and found Airborne and starting taking it immediately. The next day, I wasn't sneezing, the congestion was minimized, and most of the sore throat was gone. Today, I feel perfectly fine again! I'm still taking it today to make sure the cold will not appear and then I'll taper off again.

This is the first month that I have not gotten sick since October and I'm thrilled! I am going to extol the virtues of Airborne to everyone.
