"The Pharmacist recommended this OTC for a cough I have with a cold. It is very effective as a colonoscopy prep as it gave me diarrhea as a side effect! Couple that with the cough I still have, one dose is enough for me to not take more of this medication. It worked effectively as a laxative, within 4 hours, the cough is still present, and this medication is being returned to CVS for a refund. If I had read the reviews, I would not have purchased this medication."

"Paid $10.00 for 3 oz bottle. Took as directed and did not stop coughing. Only upset my stomach. Called the company and they would not stand behind their product. No return policy for unused portion."

"Took Delsym 12 hour cough and after about 2 hours got terrible stomach pains and diarrhea. It wasn't very good at suppressing my cough either! Be warned, I would never take it again!"

"My 17 year old had a terrible constant cough for 2-3 days. I found an unopened bottle of Delsym didn't know we had. He slept soundly and didn't start coughing for about 11 hours. Next 3 doses every 12 was amazing. Best cough solution every. Will not go back to Robitussin."
