I purchased these for the small sum of 2pounds something. Or maybe 1pound 90 something. I don't really remember, I guess it's not that important.
I thought I'd give them a shot as I desperately needed to get some Ibuprofen down my throat (these contain the standard 200mg per tablet) and my tonsils were doing their best to stop everything but liquids going down. Anyway, you basically stick one on your tongue, let it dissolve and swallow. Which kinda worked. I can't say it was particularly nice though. They dry the fuck out of your mouth, leave an unpleasant burning sensation - akin to a chemical burn - and then you've got to wash it away with what little saliva you've got left. Which I guess would be ok if you had a glass of water handy, but they market themselves as being for pain relief on the go, where you don't necessarily have water handy.
Anyway, once the unpleasant burning sensation has left you, I can't say I felt much pain relief. I mean, I've taken 5 of the fuckers since waking up at lunchtime today, and I'm reasonably sure I'm in just as much pain as when I woke up. I don't know, maybe all the good stuff is getting trapped in pockets on my tonsils, and once they deflate I'm going to get this massive rush of Ibuprofen and OD. I know Ibuprofen works, but this just doesn't.
That just about wraps up this review. I'd give them 2/10, cause they hurt going in and then they didn't do anything. I'm not really sure why I'm giving them two points. I suppose the dissolving thing was fairly innovative. Even if it did hurt.
