I had a really bad cough and it was hurting to breathe. This medicine is wonderful. I've noticed that some people aren't sleeping while taking it, but it's knocking me out. I couldn't possibly take this and work.

This was supposed to help my cough, but after 2 weeks of taking it my cough was worse, so bad it made me vomit. Breathing inhalers helped on the first try. Hardly any cough.

This medication totally stopped my cough due to a cold, therefore, getting much needed rest at night.

besides the fact of not being covered by my insurance this medication was effective and wasn't too horrible to swallow.

Anti-cough effect seemed to wear off too soon and I was dealing with another bout of coughing until time for the next dose.

This works great if you don't mind not sleeping. I went for two days not coughing with bronchitis, but also no sleep. I woke up every hour wondering if it was time to get up! I recommend using something different for nighttime.

I was given this drug for sudden onset of pain and was pretty satisfied. For a pain medication this works great and stopped me from having to actually go to the hospital many times. Quickest acting med without the use of injections and all that.

It was one of the first cough medicines that I didn't have to force myself to swallow because of the bad taste. The only adverse reaction was an itchy nose and a little drowsy feeling. Excellent cough control!
