I have Chronic Bronchitis and this is what my doctor gives me for my cough. It works well with no side effects. I try not to use it very much so that it will work the next time I need it.

I take this as needed for seasonal coughing/hacking. Very satisfied with the results. When taken at bed time is seems to produce weird dreams.

Prescribed along with Pednisone & Biaxin after having "a hyper-allergic reaction to pollen that became bronchitis."

This did not stop my cough or allow me to sleep. I'd wake up after an hour in a horrible coughing fit. It gave me terrible side effects of nausea, fatigue, dizziness and a severe headache. Possibly the saccharine in the list of ingredients, possibly the medication itself. This medication did not help at all.

This medication has helped with cough and as an expectorant, but it makes my head and eyes feel strange. My eyes burn as if I am about to cry... Not a feeling that I like. I've taken the same medication with codeine and never had any issues. Maybe it's the dextromorphan? Subscribed for pneumonia.

this did not work at all. I actually coughed more and harder and it was more painful. Additionally, i was awake all night instead of sleeping or drowsy.

I'm not sure this medicine is even doing anything for my cough. I believe the doctor should have given me an expectorant, not a suppressant. Mucinex Max is working better.

This medication has helped me get the rest needed, to recovery from what seemed like a terrible cough. A cough so hard before this medication that my upper abdominal muscles hurt.

Had a persistent cough for over two months following a bout with the flu. This was the only medication that worked for me.

I was given this medication along with a Zpack for pnemonia. It works well and doesn't make me too drowsey to perform my job and operate a vehicle. Taste wise it wasn't any worse than OTC Nyquill, it helped a lot.
