Been using this product since I was a kid, seems like along with eliminating the plain flavor they got rid of whatever compound was effective. Looking for something else now.

Love that it Didn't take long to work. Has eased or gotten rid of most symptoms. Great for mucus congestion but not as good for swollen nasal passages.

This is my favorite cold medicine. I dissolve it in warm water and it helps soothe my sore throat as well. I can be sensitive to cold medications, such as NyQuil and Benedryl, but this gave me little trouble.
