I have used this for years in the winter when I have a hacking cough that won't let me sleep. The only time I take it is before bed and I have found that as little as 1/4 teaspoon works without the other side effects. Published: November 26, 2007 ::

Worked immediately for my bad cough. Also took away muscle cramps. Had a little bit of a sore tummy but it went away within half an hour. Published: October 27, 2007 ::

Seem to get a persistent cough after a cold. Was prescribed this drug and I take it at night. I can usually sleep for 4-6 hours without waking to cough. After a few days am able to taper to half a pill for a few nights. Easy to take, does make me drowsy. Published: March 29, 2008 ::

Stopped my cough, and I didn't gag on the taste. Medicine is not supposed to taste good... however this was not at all bad! Published: March 03, 2008 ::

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. Published: November 30, 2007 ::

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! Published: June 23, 2009 ::

This has worked great for me. I am allergic to codeine and morphine, but not to this, so I can actually get some relief and rest when I have a bad cold. Published: February 06, 2009 ::

I was just released from the hospital - diagnosed with Pneumonia & Histoplasmosis a fungal infection in my righ lung. I had a lung biopsy a few days ago and due to severe caughing the area in my lung where the biopsy was taken keeps getting aggrivated which causes me to cough up blood. My lung dr. said that this is normal after a biopsy and prescribed hydromet syrp & it is working wonderfully. I would recommend this medication to anyone with a serious cough.
