For Cough "I was prescribed this medicine in the ER when I was diagnosed with bronchitis. The very first thing the doctor said with this medication is do not drive. I totally agree, the medicine is wonderful, it pretty much got rid of the cough and helped clear up my head congestion. I would have to say that the worst side effect is that it makes you feel very drowsy and sleepy, like you are under the influence of alcohol."

For Cough "I have a problem with recurring bronchitis because of asthma. When this happens, I cough a lot. The Tussionex is a lifesaver for me. It stops the cough that nothing else has ever stopped. It makes me sleepy, but the cough is paralyzing, so it's well worth it. The price makes me very thankful for my health insurance."
