A miracle drug to reduce cough and sinus congestion. Have used several times over past years - always nails it. 2 tsp before bed = no cough/good sleep.

Was diagnosed with bronchitis

did not help cough at all, i think it may have even made it worse

This is crap. It didnt help my cough at all. Going back to doc's to ask for something else!

Great Article, one question.... What are the symptoms of overdose? Article says to call 911 for an OD, but what should I be looking for?

I had bronchitis & a constant cough. My physician prescribed this medicine for me. He advised me to take it before bed as it causes drowsiness. I looked forward to finally getting a restful night's sleep. I took the medicine as directed and it kept me up all night and made my coughing even worse. I will not use it again and do not recommend it.

Everytime I took this medicine, I coughed for five minutes. No help at all. Finished the bottle anyway - kept hoping it would work. It didn't. Waste of money AND since I'm still coughing - want to say it should be taken off the market.

I coughed more after taking the medication. I had sit straight up to sleep and would still wake up coughing. Severe headaches from coughing and extremely tired.

I have the flu and was prescribed this medicine for cough at night to help me sleep. It has made my cough worse and hasn’t helped me sleep at all. I was up all night coughing.

Little to no reduction in coughing and drainage reduction.

I have chronic bronchitis, went to the Dr after taking antibiotics for two weeks they gave me this and checking for pneumonia it doesn't help at all , it keeps me up and gives me horrible heartburn and seems to make the cough worse.

It stops my coughing only if I remain in an upright position. Without it, sitting up doesn't stop the coughing. Laying down, I'm going to cough even if I too this medicine. I'm OK with that because I want the fluid to drain down.

I was prescribed this medication for a lung infection with a severe cough. Has not helped at all has not help me sleep as prescribed wake up coughing just as bad as not taking the medication at all have developed severe headaches .

In the mornings I have had a extremely runny nose. The pro-dm has completely stop the condition.

I have asthma and every time I get a cold, I cough miserably for hours on end, to the point of feeling like my lungs are going to tear apart. This cough syrup has been not been effective at all. I used Iophen C in the past and it worked like a charm.

Worked well to relieve cough, nasal congestion and clearing up excessive mucus. Negatives are: pronounced headache, weird dreams and some dizziness. Caution: I used flonase once while taking this and thought my skull would split open.

Started one day ago for a persistent nightly cough due to a cold going into bronchitis; 5ml dosage (which is really small compared to the Nyquil i was taking) but seems to work close to the six hours that I have between dosages...satisfied with it so far. It does make you a bit sleepy but not too bad.

Taking it for bronchitis. I was up all night coughing only got about 4 hours sleep. Does nothing except seem to make me cough harder. Woke up this morning no cough yet soon as I started moving the cough is back with a vengeance. Took some more and hasn't stopped me from coughing. Terrible medicine. Hopefully the antibiotics kick in soon. Over the counter stuff works better.
