Comment:
It worked very well, as far as getting me to stop coughing. I was happy with that aspect. The only down side is that I slept from one on the afternoon when I got the prescription filled until 4 the following morning, so take with caution!!

I was unable to lay down to sleep because of constant cough. After taking Virtussin I was able to lay in bed and sleep. I recommend this medicine for cough suppressant and congestion relief.

The smell is horrible and it does not taste like a regular cough syrup. I will never buy this again. It didn't help at all.
