For Cough "The nighttime product works great. It helps keep my sinuses clear, and I rest much better than with NyQuil. No diarrhea. No stomach aches. No hangover."

For Cough "It definitely helped my cough, but I did have some minor stomach problems with it, and I did feel kind of light-headed at times. Not like I was going to be dizzy or pass out, but just kind of odd."

For Cough "This is the only cough medicine that is worth your $$. It really works. I especially like the lozenges when I am working. I've never had any stomach upset either, and I have a pretty sensitive one."
