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.

I've had a cough for almost a month, unrelated to cold/flu. Tried an AB which didn't work and now this and it's not done anything either.

After second day on it, no improvement at all so far. I experienced nausea, as well. I am on the fence about staying on it another day. I need quicker results. No problem with taking the pills.

I was diagnosed with probable pertussis(whopping cough) YUK! After 3 weeks of a very painful and nasty cough, I have refief. Though I did get a bit sick to my stomach and quite sleepy, the pain in my chest, throat, and abdomen from the constant violent coughing has ceased and my cough is controlled...nothing else had helped until now..I adore this medication.

This pill is GREAT! I developed a cold that include lots of congestion and wheezing. I developed such a deep cough that I almost threw-up from coughing. I was told about this medication by a collegue (medical field) and asked my doctor for a prescription. I took one at 9:15 am and by 10:00 am I was coughing less than 3 times per hour. I did feel a little disoriented after the first pill, but that went away and I felt just fine the two other times I took it. I would recommended this to anyone who needs cough relieve (especially if they are unable to sleep due to the cough, which was my problem).Read More Read Less

I've only taken this for 2 days but it has not helped me at all. I was still up all night coughing. I would not recommend it although many of the reviewers did.
