Every fall I get allergies, and in turn I get a nasty cough when I lie down from all the sinus drainage. In the past I had used OTC cough medicines, which did nothing for me. The H-C Tussive syrup worked wonders for me and let me have a good night's sleep every night until my sinuses finished draining. I did experience quick drowsiness shortly after taking it, and would feel a bit strange and d...

This medication helped me a ton. I get bronchitis almost every year. When I first take the medication it quites my cough and lets me (lay down) sleep through the night without coughing or waking up my husband because I can't breathe. It does make me a bit lightheaded and really tired but it helps. I have had no other side effects from the medication then sleepiness, but it has hydrocodone in it to make you sleep. I have no hangover or anything while taking this medication. I highly recomend it. But then FDA has taken it off the market. I don't know why the FDA took this medication off the market. They say that it wasn't effetive. This was the only medication that I could take to help with my bronchitis. I have an allegery to codeine but hydrocodone does not bother me unless I use it more then 2 weeks. Now the only drugs that are avaliable are Tussionex or Robatussin AC. Tussionex is way to expensive even with my insurance and I can't take robatussin AC (Codeine). Now when I get bronchitis I just have to deal with the cough because the FDA took everything else off the market!Read More Read Less

While it really helped me get a good night sleep when I had a severe cough, the headache and hangover symptoms were horrible. If you have no side effects with this drug, it would be a good choice. Unfortunately, I had bad side effects; Pounding headache, sensitivity to light, and nausea.

The H-C Tussive syrup worked wonders for me and let me have a good night's sleep every night until my sinuses finished draining. I did experience quick drowsiness shortly after taking it, and would feel a bit strange and dizzy, but I would make sure to take it right before retiring for the night and it wasn't a problem. But anything that causes drowsiness really knocks me out, so it might not be the case for everyone. I highly recommend asking your Dr for it if you have a chronic cough that the OTC medicines just aren't helping...Read More Read Less
