Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold & Cough Maximum Strength PowerMax Gels is an over-the-counter medication designed to provide multi-symptom relief from cold and cough symptoms. It contains four active ingredients: acetaminophen as a pain reliever and fever reducer, chlorpheniramine maleate as an antihistamine, dextromethorphan hydrobromide as a cough suppressant, and phenylephrine hydrochloride as a nasal decongestant. According to the manufacturer, it is intended for relief of nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache, body aches, sore throat, and cough.

This product is formulated as liquid gels that are 25% smaller than the brand's original liquid gels, which the manufacturer notes may aid in ease of swallowing. The dosage for adults and children 12 years and over is two capsules every four hours, with a maximum of ten capsules in 24 hours. It is available in a 24-count package. The inactive ingredients include gelatin, glycerin, and various colorants and stabilizers such as D&C red #33 and FD&C blue #1.
