"Seriously the worst! Slightly numbs my tongue but not my throat. I’ve never tried a cough drop that doesn’t work. I thought because it’s a good brand they’d be great. But it’s awful. Now I’m sick, and snowed in so I can’t go to the store, and stuck with these horrible cough drops!"

"Very effective for the sinus congestion and sinus drip. However, continuous use resulted in leg cramps at night. Interfered with sleep. Research says that it can reduce blood flow to legs."
