Georgia has recently been listed by the Centers for Disease Control as an area showing “Local Activity” for influenza…so to help get you, your family, your community, and your audience prepared, experts make their picks for surviving the cold and flu season.
What can help alleviate the symptoms, especially stubborn chest congestion and a nagging cough?
Products like Mucinex, the No. 1 Doctor Recommended brand and the No. 1 OTC brand in America, especially the Mucinex 12-Hour DM expectorant and cough suppressant line. Along with tissues, hand sanitizer, herbal teas and a working thermometer, your Cold and Flu Season readiness demands the bi-layer, 12-hour (not just 4-hour!) formulations of Mucinex products that combine both immediate and extended release properties.
For those with a multitude of symptoms beyond cough and chest congestion, the Fast-Max line treats 9 symptoms with a single dose: sore throat, headache, fever and more.
Make sure you are ready for Georgia Flu Season!
