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. Published: December 24, 2007 ::

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. Published: February 05, 2008 ::

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.

Having had suffered from Chronic Bronchitis, off and on all my life, this is the first cough medicine that actually works! Published: November 11, 2007 ::

Comment from: Female (Patient)

I found this cough suppressant to be by far the most effective I've ever taken in my history of chronic bronchitis since I was a child. The downside was insomnia at times caused by a burst of energy versus relaxation and then when able to sleep; caused strange dreams. The cough is definitely suppressed, yet if a person has an addictive/dependent history, it would be best not to use it. It is surprisingly sweet and tasty as increases the odds of becoming dependent or taking more often than recommended. I urge others to be very careful with the doses and length of time using this "yummy" and effective product. Since it is expensive and a controlled substance, this is a great deterrent for those warned above. The dosage most certainly needs to be measured correctly and taken as directed. Good Health!
