Experiencing a viral cold with chest congestion and coughing. This medicine does reduce the cough but still allows me to get rid of the phlegm.

Did nothing for my cough. Oh wait, other than make it worse. Now my lungs are burning!! I've coughed more since I took it. Can't wait for it to wear off!! Id I could have given no stars for questions 1 and 3 I would have.

After all this negitive I will not take it for my cough at all. I don't need something to make me feel worse.

This did help stop the constant urge to cough that I was having due to sinusitis, didn't totally stop but fewer. Also using OTC cough med. as recommended by my Dr. which hadn't been effective alone. Some dry mouth and dizziness, not unmanageable though

Last night I coughed for 3 hours - the medicine did nothing for my cough and made me feel worse than I felt before I started it.

This drug unfortunately didn't do much to calm down my cough. Disappointing in light of the cost of the product.

No relief from the cough at all. Worthless.

It made it possible for me to control the cough, if I needed to cough I could do so, if I didn't want or need to I didn't.

Experienced dizziness which went away with food. This med did nothing for my cough. Was still coughing all night which doesn't seem to be helpful for a recovery.

After taking this medicine for a week, 3 times a day as prescribed by my physician. My cough continued day & night...I did not get any relief. I never knew that I had taken any medication, my condition remained and my cough became worse.

Yesterday was my first day to use. Right before I went to bed last night, I took this medicine. All night I felt like I had caffeine so I couldn't sleep at all. I coughed all night.

After a week of all-day/all-night coughing, I'd hoped this would work. I'm still coughing like I'll cough up a lung, and now I have a stuffy nose too (one of the listed side-effects). Every 8 hours is not a good dosage regime for someone hoping to catch up on lost sleep. Requires utmost precision on timing. (Not that it matters, since the cough is still here anyway). *sigh*

I just started the meds today and I have cronic COPD with a flair up of bronchitis and when I cough it felt like my eye was going to pop out. After taking the pill my cough subsided.

outside of the cost it has help but there must be other medicine that could help with less cost or senior or any one on a fixed income
