For Cough "Was prescribed Hydromet around the time H1N1 was spreading. I had a nasty cough, brutal body aches, and fever. As soon as I took a dose, the flu symptoms reduced significantly. The cough disappeared overnight. The only problem was the intense nausea that caused vomiting. Maybe should take with food to reduce side effects. Otherwise, this syrup was a flu-buster like no other medicine."

For Cough "I was taking Hydromet for pneumonia. It seemed to work quite well the first night, as I took it right before bed, and I slept very well. However, I found that while taking it during the day, I got extremely nauseous and continuously threw up until an anti-nausea prescription finally came through. I usually do fine taking pill forms of codeine, such as Vicodin, etc., but find that in taking this during the day, it causes such dizziness that you feel like you're on a horrible theme park ride. Do not recommend if you are susceptible to vomiting from being too dizzy; seems to work for others though."

For Cough "I was prescribed Hydromet for a flu-related cough. It did great for taking care of my cough, but the vomiting, itching, headache, and light sensitivity that I have as side effects aren't worth it for me."
