Almost instant relief and very effective. I am hesitant to mention this, for I cannot scientifically support this conclusion, but I developed chronic hiccoughs after starting the medicine. The ended when I stopped taking it.

Was prescribed in ER of 93 year old and used for a week. This drug just about killed her. Still suffering from cough and hallucinations. Should never be prescribed or used in anyone over 85.

I had the worst cold I have EVER had. I tend to get coughs easily but I had never had one like t his cough brought. This medicine was a miracle. I just took it at night but it allowed me to sleep and get better. It worked like nothing else I have ever taken.

I had to take this the first time after not being able to get rid of a cough(due to a severe flu) and not being able to keep down any other cough medicine due to the vile taste. It does not taste great, but compared to others, it is absolutely heavenly! I have only had to take it for a few days and the cold is gone, though I take Zinc and Vitamin C as well whenever I get sick so that is likely a contributing factor. It works wonders and also helps other cold symptoms, specifically my runny/congested nose. It makes me extremely sleepy, but I can fight the sleep off, if need be, after about an hour. Five Stars!Read More Read Less

Terrible flu, coughed so hard that at the 12-day point, I broke a rib from coughing. This was the only thing that helped my cough get under control until I finally got over the flu. I think I was about to do serious internal damage from coughing, if I didn't have it.

Suffering upper respiratory infection, with congestion, with history of asthma. This is the only thing that knocked it out immediately, and I could rest, and lasted!

I tried other OTC and prescription cough suppresants without luck but this one worked immediately and it stopped the coughing for at least 10 hours. I only took it at night time and I slept like I have not slept in years, 8+ hours straight, everytime I took it.
