4. Airborne Duel Action Beta-Immune System Booster

Avoiding germs is important, but keeping yourself healthy enough to be ready for them is crucial. You can't evade or disinfect every single microorganism, but you can make your body strong enough to fight them off. Proper exercise, rest, and a healthy diet will ensure the effective functioning of your body, but during cold and flu season, why not give your immune system some help? Airborne Duel Action Tablets are packed with Vitamins A, C, and E, vital to maintaining cellular function and growth, as well as Beta-immune booster (yeast fermentate), which supports immune system functioning. Boost your immune system and be ready to fight off any sickness you encounter!

5. Sudafed PE Congestion Maximum Strength

Even if you've managed to avoid catching a cold or flu, you may be dealing with some of fall's strongest allergens, like ragweed or mold. The congestion can be unbearable when you're just trying to get on with your workday. Sudafed PE relieves nasal congestion and reduces sinus pressure no matter if you're suffering from allergies, hay fever, or even the common cold! This over-the-counter, non-drowsy formula ensures you'll be ready to handle whatever the fall has in store.

6. Quality Choice Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray

Seasonal allergies are never convenient, but as the weather gets colder they seem to worsen. Pollen, one of the most common allergies, is particularly heavy in the air during the fall. How many times have you tried to enjoy a relaxing fall day, only to find your eyes irritated and your nose so stuffed and swollen you can't breathe through it? Fluticasone Nasal Spray is here to help! Widely known as Flonase, this corticosteroid spray can provide relief for up to 24 hours. Just one or two sprays in each nostril reduce swelling and inflammation in the nose, relieving itchy, runny, and stuffy nose, as well as sneezing and eye irritation.

7. Vicks DayQuil Cold and Flu Medicine

Regardless of the precautions you take, sometimes illness catches up with you. But even when getting sick can't be avoided, stepping away from the responsibilities of your daily life seems impossible. You need the strength to be back on your feet as soon as possible. DayQuil Cold & Flu LiquiCaps are exactly what you need.

DayQuil Cold & Flu will give you the power to get through your busy day!

8. Boiron ColdCalm Quick Dissolving Cold Relief Tablets

The trouble with many cold and flu products is that they often have poor interactions with other medications. Depending on what prescriptions you have, you may find yourself prevented from taking an entire class of drug, even ones as wide-ranging as decongestants or antihistamines. If you need relief from cold symptoms but can't take many traditional over-the-counter medications, consider ColdCalm Quick Dissolving Cold Relief Tablets!  This all-natural, homeopathic medicine has no known negative interactions with any drugs. And as a non-drowsy medicine, it relieves common cold symptoms while leaving you with enough energy to enjoy the day!
