I get frequent upper respiratory infections and when my coughing interupts my sleep this is the only medicine that is effective at stopping the cough and allows me to rest. It starts working in like 15 minutes and allows for a cough-free night. I would suggest taking it during the day for the first time so you know how you will react to it. You MUST take it with at least one full glass of water...

I have COPD Asthma/Bhronchitis plus lung scar tissue. The only thing I ever found to really help me is the Hycodan Compound cough syrup. The problem with this is the FDA is overeacting to celebraties that are using this with other illegal drugs and killing themselves...so the rest of us have to suffer. I have also tried the inhalers...but they are ineffective too.... Any one else have any suggestions? PS I have never in my life done ANY illegal drugs of been addicted to medications. If I have wanted to kill myself, I would have done it a long time ago!Read More Read Less
