For a couple sleepless nights,I had severe couphing "episodes"(as I called them)... to the point of choking / gagging. My regular doctor was not available so I went to an urgent care type of provider for help. After initial exam, and x rays, was told I had a bit of bronchitis and what my options were for medical treatment.#1 Mucinex or #2 Codein. I was told if it(coughing) was keeping me up at...

I have asthma, and when I catch a cold it turns into bronchitis and then pneumonia. this medicine allows me to rest better, breathe deeper, and relaxes the cough reflex. I do not really get very drowsy with this med, unless I am running a fever. My doctor has been fully aware of my medical condition, and does not hesitate to prescribe this for me. Taken as directed, it is very effective.

This drug effectively calms a cough and relieves congestion. I have been using it from asthma and sinus symptoms off and on for some time and it always does the trick. One must be careful to avoid addiction though.

My bronchitis turned into condition-induced asthma, and it was impossible to sleep without coughing to the point of choking and gasping at times. This not only stopped the cough, but allowed my lungs to rest and heal, and let me get some much needed sleep. I have two very young children, however, so I have to be careful and make sure my hubby is fully aware that I am about to be "out of it" when I take it so he can keep a watchful eye on the kids.

The girls at the pharmacy told me this stuff was MUCH more effective than anything I could buy over the counter. They cautioned me if I had children at home to wait until bedtime to take it. I am glad my daughter is 16 and didn't need my full attention. It wiped me out, and I had trouble keeping my eyes open for more than ten minutes at a time. It is VERY strong, and stays in my system for at least the FULL twelve hours prescribed. Good stuff, but strong for me.
