Like any other oral suspension it was easy to administer to my 3yr old. However I have noticed that he has been really hyper while on it and I havent seen a change in any of his symptoms that he was initially precscribed for. Not happy! Gonna go back to just a multi-cold medicine and allergy, cause it HAS worked for us before!

My son has taken this two times today for his cough and it has not helped AT ALL. After reading these reviews, I won't be giving it to him again --especially if it even isn't working.

This medication was prescribed by our pediatrician for our son's cold/cough symptoms...I might as well have mixed grape Kool Aid with melted ice cream for the same result...This drug is completely useless in my opinion...the medication was ineffective in suppressing cough and cold symptoms but for fear of drug interaction and side-effects, I had to wait several hours before giving our son something that could provide some much needed relief, thus allowing him to get the rest he needed to recover. This medication is a complete "looser"...Read More Read Less

As soon as I saw the review about the exact same symptoms, I knew it was the cough medicine. Our son walked around in a daze the other day, like never before. He is constantly waking up at night for the last two nights. The medicine is also very think, not flavorful, and difficult to administer.

My daughter was given this medication mainly for her cough. After the 2nd day of use she began not sleeping well at night, and by the 3rd day her attitude was way different and she was having more fits of rage. After my husband and I were discussing it all last night the only thing that has changed is taking this medication. We can tell her cought is a little better, but all other cold symtoms are still the same. We'd of rather her not taken it at all due to the change overall in everything else with her. It is also very thick which makes it hard for her to drink, and get it all. Read More Read Less

Diagnosed "just shy of strep throat," this was my second experience with AldexDM - with the same results. The side/after effects made me feel worse that I already was! Just taking 1 teaspoon I would be very sleepy, and wake up with hangover effects (headache, spinning room, stomache upset). The same dosage of VI-Q-TUSS was taken with no problem during or after. And, apparently it is no longer available.

My son was on this due to allergys and coughing. It helped him out alot and he had no side effects of the medicine.
