For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I was prescribed this cough medicine after not being able to sleep for a week because of coughing all night long. I went to pick up the medication and without insurance it is over $70, which is ridiculous for cough medicine when I can buy Robitussin for $10. I was lucky enough that my insurance covered almost all of this cost. However, money wasn't my biggest concern. When I took the medicine, it worked. My cough stopped. But the whole reason I wanted my cough to stop was so I could get some rest. This drug has pseudoephedrine in it which made sleep IMPOSSIBLE. It also suppressed my appetite so much that I could barely eat a meal a day. My cough went away but I have spent the last week exhausted from sleep deprivation and inability to get any nourishment. I will never accept any medication with pseudoephedrine in it again. It did more harm to me than good."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "This was a terrible experience. Normally for congestion and ear infection you get antibiotics so this was new for me. I was skeptical to consume this combo of brompheniramine & dextromethorphan & pseudoephedrine . BUT the Dr knows was best right?? Nope...long story short I felt dizzy, nauseous, and on top of that I had blurred vision that was so bad a relative took me to the emergency room and the Dr in the ER said this should not be given and he has many patients who come to ER due to this particular medicine. He gave me regular antibiotics and told me to drink hot tea and I was SO much better."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "Do not. I repeat. DO NOT give this combo medicine brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine to a two year old. I took my son to the children’s hospital here in our state because he stopped breathing on this medicine. Said it was an old practice and they don’t typically prescribe this to children anymore. Luckily his Mimi was able to give rescue breathes and save his life. We had the hospital discard the bottle for us. I will never go back to the immediate care that prescribed this to him. God is good."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "My 12 year old was diagnosed with pneumonia 9 days ago. She is getting better. No headache, fever or problems breathing but this is NOT working. No one is sleeping. Her stomach muscles are sore from coughing so much. Everyone is tired all day! I thought the cough would be gone by now. Requesting something else tomorrow."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "You cannot sleep. I was prescribed this drug to treat Bronchitis. While it lessened the severity of my coughs in the beginning, the syrup was so intense, it can cause coughs on its own. This drug at its peak rid one nostril of congestion for a whole 35 minutes. The worst side effect is the inability to sleep. It’s not like having too much coffee. You’re left in an miserable, drowsy state absolutely unable to sleep. It is miserable."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "My two youngest 4 and 2 had an upper respiratory/sinus infection and the 4yr old suffered a ruptured ear drum from it. Rx dose 2.5ml every 6hr as needed Rx filled on Thursday; it's now Saturday and everyone is back to normal. I didn't notice any restlessness or hyperactivity from either of them, no diarrhea. The only side effect I noticed was if I gave it to them around lunch time, they were both asleep 30mins later. I would recommend this product; under Dr. care and use common sense to not overdose in a child."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "Had a violent cough (not diagnosed as anything, docotors said "I don't know - a virus maybe?") that persisted for WEEKS until I was prescribed this. Almost immediately stopped coughing within its effect time frame (about 8 hrs). I personally felt no side effects, which could be due to the relief it gave me from the violent persistent dry coughing. Was able to sleep soundly again after literal weeks. WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND IF YOUR INSURANCE COVERS IT. Went to the local minute clinic, ended up costing me 92$ - AFTER insurance coverage about 40$. ONLY USE IF NECESSARY!"

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I've had this cough for almost 20yrs. It keeps getting worse. The only relief was a homotropine/hydrocodone pill. Unfortunately, it's a narcotic and Doctors don't see that the cure is worth the risk. My Doctor, again, took me off of it. I'm a 60yr old female, constantly coughing up a lung, and he put me on this. All it did was make me sick to my stomach and give me diarrhea. Did not help my cough at all. Does not work for chronic cough!"

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I have bronchitis cough so bad it wakes me up hurts and makes me sweat. I have been to 3 doctors. The ER Dr gave me robitussin on a Tuesday. Didn't work. I went to my family Dr on a Friday he gives me benzonate and again that didn't work. On Sunday the cough is killing me to the point I go to a urgent care. She gives me this cough syrup bromphen. Now 3 hours laters from taking it...I have the runs. So not only can I not sleep from the cough now I'm on the toilet with the runs coughing. Great! Thanks doctors. While yall are all sleeping your patient is up doing worse than before. This medicine is trash."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I took this and for three days I didn't seem to put the pieces together until the third day. I caused me to feel anxious beyond believe. It's a "rare"but possible side effect that seems to be a lot more common then people think considering the other comments on this page. Depression, anxiety feelings tied with the inability to sleep. I wouldn't recommend this medication."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I have had a bad cough for 2 weeks and I always wake up in the middle of the night to cough. I have been prescribed this medicine and it tastes absolutely DISGUSTING. I mean horrific. It tastes like rip-off root beer mixed with bubble gum from the Dollar Tree. It helps with my cough a little but I get a little dizzy after I take it."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "Won't try it any longer to judge efficacy. Took the first 5ml dose ( one tsp) as directed, and my lips and tongue actually burned, as if I had taken a teaspoon of hot sauce. The burning lingered on my lips for about 5 minutes. Never had this kind of a reaction before to cough meds (I'm 51) so that was it for me. Can't say whether it would have worked because I cannot deal with such a bizarre reaction to what is clearly labeled on the bottle a "flavorless pink liquid." I'll go back to OTC Robitussin or another with expectorant myself. $20 for a 180 ml bottle through my insurance."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I contacted my doctor to ask him how I can ease a dry, painful cough with coughing fits and a head cold. This is what he prescribed. Using an oral syringe from the pharmacy makes taking it very easy. 10 to 15 mins after taking my first dose the congestion in my head lessened. I did have a headache come on afterward. I took Tylenol, put an ice pack on my head, and was able to fall asleep. The cough lessened in severity from the first dose onward. I still felt the urge to cough but was able to suppress the cough, in contrast to before taking the med where if I felt the urge to cough it meant a coughing fit was definitely about to happen. The coughing fits were painful and taxing so I'm really glad for this medicine. Other side effects I felt have been my vision being a bit weird though not quite blurry, and my heart racing (but no more than if I had a strongly caffeinated drink.)."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "My four year old grandson was prescribed this medicine for cough and congestion related to RSV. Within a few hours his behavior changed to practically an out of control, biting, hitting, climbing, danger to himself and younger sibling. It was very startling to see. After 24 hours off this medicine, he is still out of control. He’s not on any other medications. He has had the same issues with Zyrtec, Claritin, and Benadryl. The cough was stopped, but the side effects outweigh the benefits. Not for children. I also was prescribed this same medicine for RSV a week later. My heart was racing, sweating at night, and zero appetite. The cough stopped and nasal congestion was relieved. I feel the medicine should be used very carefully."
