BC Powder Pain Relief, Headache Relief, Cherry Flavor, 24 Count (Pack of 2)

I use these for my migraines as they seem to be the only thing that helps. The flavor is better than the original although if you’ve never taken them before forewarned that you need a drink with it. Do not try to take it without a drink as it is not pleasant (lesson learned). They do not always rip open and you really need to cut them but that is a small price to pay for pain relief.

it works very quickly and works very well also tastes like cherries so thats nice

Never disappointed with BC Powder. I use for joint and muscle pain, and the relief lasts about five or six hours, every time. Because it is a powder I believe it works faster than pressed pills. It does contain caffeine, but not enough to keep me awake. Ya know what else I like? I can throw those disposable sealed packets in my wallet without having to carry around a pill bottle. Like Bob Seger said: A little headache powder will see you through.

I thought I was dying, but it was just a headache and this made it go away!

Works fast & well

My review of BC Powder (original formula) explains how highly I think of the product. The highlights: "In the years prior to discovering BC Powder, I learned that the best thing for a headache was to take some Excedrin ... The downside - and it's big - is that it takes a long time to work. The pill has to dissolve in your stomach before the medicine can even START doing its job. And that's where BC Powder comes in. Because, yeah, it's BC ... POWDER. It's not smashed into a tablet. It doesn't have to dissolve in your stomach before it can start working. So it starts working. RIGHT. NOW. So BC Powder is my go-to for any type of headache pain." So THIS powder is THAT powder, with some notable additions that have inherent up-sides and down-sides. PROS (over traditions BC Powder): * Cherry flavor can be more palatable than nasty original * Sealed foil packets travel well, don't dissipate into purse, glove box, etc. This is a HUGE win, if you carry BC Powder with you everywhere, as I do. As frustrating as the "CONS" may be at times, this feature alone means that I continue to purchase this formulation. CONS (versus traditional BC Powder): * Cherry can be cloying or medicine-y (Yes, this conflicts with the "Pro" listed above. I'm sure different people will have different opinions about the flavor - and for me, it also depends on my mood, and the type of headache I'm experiencing). * Packets are not always easy to open. USUALLY they will tear nicely if you pinch and pinch and tear at the "TEAR HERE" indication on the package (see my photo) - but sometimes not. And if not, then usually no amount of tearing from other places or grips will get it open (until you get something sharp involved); needless to say that this most often happens when, and is VERY frustrating when, you have an especially bad headache. I'm going to ballpark this failure rate at around 20%.

This is such a great alternative to the plain BC powders which make me gag from the taste. Even with a strong tasting drink like soda or juice, that after taste is rough on me. But because these work so well on for my headaches, I tried the cherry out. It is wayyyy better. It reminds me of those pixie sticks we used to eat as kids. Much more palatable. Word of warning though! Use these in moderation!! Maybe two a week at most! These are really hard on the stomach and GI tract! I overused them and I just got out of the hospital after vomiting blood. I eroded my stomach lining and nearly killed myself in the process. Yes, these are VERY effective, but it is that very strength that makes them hazardous. So use bc powder for your very worst headaches, but dont do more than one a day-and I highly recommend skipping a couple days between uses. I am only 36 and I was only using these for a year. But I was taking one to two almost every day 😩 I was a fool.

BC Powder in Cherry. BC powders work great/fast for me and even better is the cherry taste!
