Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) "I have had a bad cough for over a week. The Doctor said it was bronchitis and prescribed this and Septra. It does dry you up and quietens the cough. I've taken this before but, don't remember it making me feel so loopy, even 12 hours later. Definitely don't drive and it would be advisable to have someone around."

"Had I known there was a drug that provided this much relief I would've gone to the doctor days ago. It's amazing how immediately effective it was. Never had luck with cough syrups until this one. Two thumbs up for sure."

"This stuff is amazing. No other cough syrup, prescription or OTC helps me. One year I couldn’t get rid of a cough for about 2 months and tried everything. My Dr decided to give this a go and the first night taking it almost immediately took my cough away. This is all I ever ask for now if I get a bad cough!"

"This is pure magic. I had a cough for a week that was so constant and paroxysmal that I pulled muscles in my chest and abdomen, and was seriously afraid of having a stroke. OTC did nothing, benzonatate and promethazine DM did nothing. Less than 2 hours after the first dose of this medication, I began to see improvement. After the third dose, the cough was gone for 10 hours. The downside is that when it stops working, it's sudden and harsh. It doesn't last as long as you are supposed to wait between doses, and I wake up with a headache. But I'll gladly pay that price for relief of coughing."

"This medicine really helped my cough, but it made me itchy and I got hives on my elbows and knees. It also made me very tired the next day, but tiredness alone wouldn't stop me from taking it again. It did wonders for my cough."

"I am allergic to most cough medications so my doctor prescribed me the liquid version of this after having no luck with the Tessalon Perles. I took the dosage prescribed at approximately 8:00pm and it made me extremely drowsy within half an hour. I slept really well and didn't cough all night, but it made it almost impossible to get out of bed this morning. It's 11am and I still feel very out of it. Overall this medication does what it's supposed to but I am going to have to take it much earlier in the evening to see if it makes a difference the next morning. I would not be able to take this medication during the day."
