"I received these with antibiotics for a horrible bronchitis. They didn’t stop the cough spasms at all, now I have Bromphen cough syrup PSE.DM, cough is much better. Prednisone was prescribed with this to alleviate pneumonia developed in the right lung during the use of benzonatate. I agree that Mucinex DM works better, I was up all night with cough spasms for three nights on benzonatate."

"The Tessalon pills prescribed for my cough had zero effect on preventing my coughing. I would not recommend that any NP or MD put your reputation as a medical practitioner on the line for this waste of time and money."

"I had started a bad cough right before having to fly back to the United States from Germany. I took a Tessalon pearl and was able to sleep throughout the flight with no negative side effects. I then took one in the evening when I got home and slept through the night with no problems. The only negative thing I noticed was a dry mouth."

"Still coughing after taking Tessalon Perles for 2 days. They've done absolutely nothing to help with my cough. I'm going back to OTC Robitussin. Pharm tech said most insurances do not cover this medication. Mine was no exception. It's a lot of $ for a product that doesn't work."

"Had a horrific cough and very bad sinus infection. On day 2, I went to the ER due to problems breathing. Dr. prescribed Tessalon and an antibiotic. I have been taking the Tessalon 100 mg for 3 times a day, and it has stopped the cough some, but still very congested and feeling very little relief on that part."

"Was prescribed these last night when the promethazine/codeine syrup I was previously prescribed couldn't handle my bronchitis cough. I cannot take dextromethorphan because I take sertraline. Together with a glass of honey and Cepacol, they calmed the cough enough to help me sleep."

"These were amazing! I had a lingering cough after COVID. Unproductive, just dry. However, unless I had a cough drop in my mouth or was sitting in front of a humidifier, I could not stop coughing. These were like a little miracle for me. I had no side effects. I did have to refill the prescription once because I was still coughing, but at the end of the second bottle, I could finally breathe normally without hacking up a lung."

"I have been prescribed Tessalon Perles twice. Both times for bronchitis, 5 years apart. I can't tell whether or not they actually do anything. What I do know is that they provide very little, if any, cough suppression. If I have to go back to the doctor for a cough of any sort, I plan to request something else."

"Works pretty well for about three or four hours, then I'm awake and coughing again. Label says I can't take it more often than every eight hours. Don't know how I'm supposed to get better when I can only get three hours of sleep at night. This isn't any better than Robitussin DM. I'll stick to that next time."

"If you’re reading these reviews, you’ll probably notice how reviews are either extremely positive or people claim they don’t work. Well, the truth is only some people have the body chemistry for these to be effective. Around 50% of people feel no effect, and the other half it's really effective for, and there isn't really a way to know if they’ll be effective till after you try them out."

"I have my biannual bronchitis and went to urgent care mainly to get some narcotic cough syrup. The last three nights I’ve been trashing my abdominal muscles while drowning in phlegm. When I asked about something for cough, she said, “I prescribed Tessalon Perles.” I hadn’t seen this used since nursing school in 1978. I protested, but didn’t want to look like a narcotic seeker, so accepted the P.A.'s word that these work. They may have a minimal effect, but not like Mad Dog Tussionex. I may break a rib coughing, but I’m narcotic free!"

"I get bronchitis several times a year, and this medication is pretty effective in controlling my cough. I always try these first before moving on to steroids or cough meds with codeine, and they work well!"

"Literally the worst! I had COVID and was prescribed these to help with a nagging cough. Took it as directed, and literally nothing changed. Still have an annoying cough and barely getting any sleep! Definitely a waste of my money, and on top of that, I noticed a horrible breakout on my face that wasn’t there until after I started taking them. Definitely a 0/10. Save your money and try home remedies instead!!"

"These things worked amazing for me. My sister used them, but they did nothing to quiet her cough. I'm not sure what causes them to work for some people and not others, but for me, 10/10 would recommend."

"Tessalon Perles have slightly helped in reducing the severity of the cough and lowered the number of times (1x a minute to 1 or two times in 2 to 3 hrs.)"
