For Cough and Nasal Congestion "My two youngest, 4 and 2, had an upper respiratory/sinus infection, and the 4-year-old suffered a ruptured eardrum from it. Rx dose 2.5 ml every 6 hr 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 lunchtime, they were both asleep 30 mins later. I would recommend this product, under Dr. care, and use common sense to not overdose in a child."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I have bronchitis, a cough so bad it wakes me up, hurts, and makes me sweat. I have been to 3 doctors. The ER doctor gave me Robitussin on a Tuesday. Didn't work. I went to my family doctor on a Friday, he gives me benzonatate, and again that didn't work. On Sunday, the cough is killing me to the point I go to urgent care. She gives me this cough syrup, bromphen. Now 3 hours later 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 y'all are all sleeping, your patient is up doing worse than before. This medicine is trash."

For Cough and Nasal Congestion "I've had this cough for almost 20 years. 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 60-year-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!"
