For Cough "I got sick with a basic cold that left me with lingering congestion and a cough that would not go away. Having constant coughing attacks to the point of vomiting was not only happening at night but during the day. I was extremely exhausted and feared this cough would last for weeks. Was prescribed this drug, and it worked wonders within minutes of taking it! By the next day, I was coughing minimally, and by that night, I had not one coughing attack! I think the fact I was able to rest helped me get better at a quicker rate."

For Cough "I was prescribed the Promethazine Codeine Syrup for a severe case of bronchitis. I have the most horrific cough. My doctor told me to take it at night right before bed, and it would work like a charm. But after I lay down, I start having a coughing fit. Tonight was the 5th time I took this medicine, and I decided to test my theory and take it a little before turning in for the night and see what happens. I had such a bad coughing fit I couldn't stop to the point I was gagging and couldn't stop gagging. I could not get the urge to cough to stop, which started to freak me out. Something is definitely not agreeing with me. That was a waste of $56."

For Cough "Yes, it is very effective but has serious side effects like abnormal fast heart beating and vomiting if used against cough regularly or in overdose. It must be used as few times as possible. It is extremely dangerous to use this without doctor control."
