Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine "My first time trying. I have high blood pressure and afib, so I'm careful about which cold/flu meds to take. My pharmacist recommended Coricidin. It was an unbelievably good choice. Took two pills, and an hour later, my cold symptoms cleared up magically, and I had such a good sleep."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine "Love that fact that this is heart healthy, didn't get the nervous feeling from other medications that boasted that same thing, took at 7:00 pm and had a good night sleep. Would recommend this to everyone."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine "I recently had a bad cold. I was not aware that some over-the-counter cold medications can make my high blood pressure worse. This medicine worked great, and I did not have to worry about my high blood pressure."

Acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine "Have COPD, have had a cold for over a week. Miserable. Thank goodness, mostly in my head, but have to be careful because of my breathing difficulties. Usually get Dr. to send a prescription for antibiotics, prednisone, and Mucinex, but this was just a cold with no yellow mucus. My daughter swears by Coricidin and got it for me. Started taking it 2 days ago. Felt better after the first 2 doses. Much improved, feeling human, and thanks to Coricidin for no hospital stay."

"This is a highly addictive medicine. My son has been addicted to this medicine for 9 years. In and out of rehabs. It’s his only drug and has ruined our lives. My wife and I fear he will die from this drug. This should be prescription only."
