"I get severe bronchitis at least once a year with vomiting and sleepless nights. I've tried Robitussin with codeine, but it didn't help at all. Two years ago, my doctor finally prescribed Tussionex, and it works so well. I have bronchitis now and came back from a miserable trip without this medicine. I've taken it tonight and already feel so much better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a cough medicine at night to help them sleep."

"Seven (7) years ago, my system betrayed me, and I became allergic to everything you can be tested for except ducks and fungus - everything. I went through my PCP to every allergy and immunology specialist in a forty-mile radius and then moved down to the super-specialists in the Boston medical community. For two years - nothing alleviated the primary symptom - coughing - violent, explosive coughing every forty-five minutes to an hour. This is where you will begin to disbelieve me probably, but the weekend of Good Friday, 2004, my ENT prescribed Tussionex-P, and for the first time, I was able to sleep, breathe, and behave normally. I do cease use every twenty-eight days, withdrawal is a little like 'coffee jags,' but you must use care with this medicine."

"Just started taking this medicine. Had the flu, and at the end of the 5-day flu, started a head cold. Couldn't sleep for a few nights due to cough. Only woke up 3 times tonight (once to pee and twice due to coughing). Just took my second dose and will go back to sleep. Was prescribed codeine, with no help at all. Was told this is called liquid gold - they weren't kidding. Very grateful my pharmacist mentioned this to me, then I told my doctor."

"For some period of time, I had a bad cough and was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and prescribed Tussionex - unfortunately, there was a very large tumor discovered in my right lung. I did undergo a painful surgery only to find out the condition was inoperable - I went through chemo and radiation to no avail. I, however, continued to take Tussionex to cut down on coughing, which was painful. Now one cannot get the liquid which worked for me - I only had to take it once a day, usually in the morning. I recommend it highly."

"I have suffered from chronic lung infections and bronchitis for a number of years. I have tried multiple medications in the past and nothing has worked. My doctor prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic, and it is fantastic. I would rate this medication a 12 out of 10 if I could. Be sure to hydrate well while taking this medication. The drowsiness that I experience helps me sleep, and I am cough-free all night long. The 12-hour window of effectiveness makes this the best treatment for a chronic cough."

"I have had a persistent cough now for two weeks that wakes me up 8 times at night. This is the second time that I have had this cough medicine prescribed to me. It is by far the best cough medicine that I have ever taken."

"I had incessant coughing due to post-nasal drip, which none of the OTC meds made a dent in. Saw my ENT doc who did endoscopy and, not surprisingly, found heavy sinus and throat mucus. He prescribed Tussionex-P and Prednisone. The Tussionex knocked the cough right out, enabling me to sleep and recover my voice. It is annoying that it's so hard to find; the first four pharmacies I went to didn't carry it. For me, it's a wonder drug. It succeeded where all the others failed, and I haven't had any side effects. If I could, I would give it a rating of 11."

"This medicine worked very well for me. I had a bad cough that was keeping me up night after night. This allowed me to sleep and totally stopped the cough. I couldn't take it during the day without being groggy, however, I would caution against this, although the recommended dose said every 12 hours."

"Obstetrician prescribed this to me due to a chest infection/head cold that resulted in no sleep for me. It totally knocked me out - I slept better than I had during my entire pregnancy. Great part is I still have plenty of fetal movement."

"This medication was great to reduce coughing and to sleep well at night after a few sleepless nights before the med. But I developed very bad constipation after a few nights (I took it only once a day, before bedtime), which was so bad that I would never use this medication again."

"This stuff is great. I have had a chronic cough for over a year following an esophagectomy. This is the first medication that actually works for more than a couple of hours. I can actually make it through the night without having a coughing episode. As a side benefit, it tastes pretty good."

"I have had a bad cough for over a week. The doctor said it was bronchitis and prescribed this and Septra. It does dry you up and quiets the cough. I've taken this before but don't remember it making me feel so loopy, even 12 hours later. Definitely don't drive, and it would be advisable to have someone around."

"I've struggled with a chronic cough for years. Even the slightest trigger—a mild cold, seasonal allergies, or any minor irritant—can set off a relentless, self-perpetuating cough that lasts for months. I’ve tried everything, but this is the only remedy that truly works. I take it at night, usually just half the dose, and while it still takes a few weeks, it effectively calms my cough enough to function and finally heal from the irritation. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it."

"This medicine has a built-in phlegm breaker and works very well to keep mucus from settling in the chest. Side effects for me are usually sleepiness, which is welcome when you are sick."
