Comment:
I was prescribed this drug for severe throat irritation from strep throat. It was so thick that I gagged and barely managed to swallow it. The feeling came back to my throat within an hour. Not effective and too gross for me to continue treatment.

Comment:
I found the medication to be too thick to gargle for swollen glads & throat irritation. It has a terrible taste that made me gag everytime I used it, so I didn't get the best effect.

Comment:
This medication is so thick, it is almost impossible to get it to the back of the throat for gargling. It was prescribed for me to ease throat irritation, when in fact my problem is a staph infection needing an antibiotic. I was unable to use it properly even once.
