This medication is supposed to make you cough more because it's breaking the mucus up that's in your lungs, for bronchitis. It worked wonders for my 7 year old who weighs 56 lbs and took 5ml as needed.

I seemed to actually cough more after using this product. Also, in a very odd and unexpected side effect, I've had hiccups all day and night long after taking two doses. This may be the worst experience I've ever had with cough medicine. I hope to get to swap this out for something else at the doctor tomorrow.

I was diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection and got this to ease my cough. The taste is very disgusting (plastic bubblegum, weird to describe.) But is worth it for the results you get. I’ve seen ease in my coughing a lot, and it doesn’t personally make me drowsy.

Only made my dry cough worse, did not help with getting phlegm out. Increased chest pains whenever I cough after taking it for 4 days, doesn’t relieve coughing as good as other OTC drugs.

I was having vertigo and earache and the doctor gave me this saying it would clear it up. It made it worse and caused a few other problems like the ringing in my ears got even louder and is still a problem. This was the second time this medication was given to me and I will definitely let the doctor know next time not to bother giving me this.

My dr put me in this almost 48 hours ago and I feel worse since I’ve been taking it. My chest and back around my lungs feels like it’s being compressed which leads me to now think pneumonia has set in due to not being able to cough the mucus up. It has definitely helped me sleep around the clock for the most part.

The numbing effect last a very minute amount of time. Literally minutes later. Since it is compounded TriCare does not cover it. It is expensive. The ingredients are all over the counter items except for liquid lidacaine. Very disappointed.

The doctor gave me this for the flu. It tastes horrible but it stopped my symptoms and knocked me out. When I woke up I felt so much better.

This was first given to me when I was tested positive for Omicron. It worked great for me. Cough slowed down a lot, mucus was more than expected. I made sure I also drank a lot of fluids, used nose spray and put mentholatium near my nose so I could breathe better.

Was having severe asthma issues which also caused a build up of mucus. This medication worked great but holy lord does it knock me out and render me completely useless for about 12 hours! (side note to those complaining that it made them cough more, that is because it is breaking up mucus and helping rid your body of it.

My cough had gotten worse, despite antibiotics and otc cough meds. The dr phoned this in, and it helped hugely! I have a problem taking liquids that taste awful, but this is tolerable. This was a huge blessing to me and I could breathe again without coughing.

dry mouth, quick sharp pains in side of head when coughing, swallowing, generally moving. Dizziness and louder ringing in ears. turned mucous thick and dark, coughed more right after taking. More trouble breathing, shortness of breath, not safe to drive. this is the third time all these symptoms each time I've taken this in the last 2 years. The first dose puts me to sleep, then then other symptoms appear.It seems to have prolonged the cold symptoms and made breathing worse. I will not be refilling this time.Read More Read Less

My seasonal allergies were worse than ever before. I was taking on OTC with no changes. One day on this new medicine and I stopped the constant runny nose, itching, coughing mess I had become!
