Blowfish, the hangover cure from Rally Labs approved by FDA

Blowfish, the “hangover cure” from Rally Labs comes in two dissoluble tablets and will be available across U.S. store shelves.

Blowfish, the newly approved remedy by the Food and Drug Administration is the first specifically hangover targeted product, not containing an entirely new ingredient, but pain-relieving concoction.

Rally Labs founder Brenne Haysom explains on the product’s webpage:

“After some research, I found a combination that did the trick, fast.

“I started sharing it with my friends, and they kept asking for more.”

The “Alka-Seltzer”-like tablet is different from most other products on the market in that you dissolve and administer the brew the morning after a heavy night’s drinking, in comparison to other remedy’s that advise it to be taken before or between each glass.

“Out of personal experience, the worst hangover is the one you didn’t expect on a morning you have to do stuff,” Brenne Haysom told ABC News.

“It really came out of my own experience of wanting to go out but having to work really hard the next morning,” she explained.

 

 

While Blowfish’s active ingredients are aspirin and caffeine – two basic and wildly known remedies though usually taken and offered separately – the product is considered a new drug by the FDA because of its packaged combination.

Because of this, a product of similar nature must undergo FDA review before it can be stamped with their approval, according to the FDA’s website.

With 500 mg of aspirin and 60 mg of caffeine, Blowfish claims its combination “helps restore mental alertness or wakefulness when experiencing fatigue or drowsiness associated with a hangover”.

A similar product by Bayer called Bayer AM, however, advertises itself as “Asprin and Alertness air tablets”, containing the same amounts of aspirin and caffeine, however, it doesn’t offer the packaging devoted to fighting the morning buzz or Blowfish’s same guarantee.

Let them “make it up to you”, the company offers customers if they feel slighted or dissatisfied.

Rally Labs’ website invites users to give them call or email, once better, as well as share competing remedies that may have worked better.

Though if your hangover is severe enough to cause continuous vomiting, diarrhea and severe fatigue, this still may not be the “fast” or “guaranteed” cure for you.
