Comment:
It made me very lightheaded and dizzy even after 24 hour period. I did take 2 pills and probably shold have taken 1. However, based off the results, I will not take this again. There are other products that can help me without the bad side effects

Comment:
I had lots of chest congestion and coughing. Although my coughs were more productive than normal with this medication, I broke out in itchy hives all over my body after 3 days on it. My breathing was heavier too. I discontinued the medicine and the hives went away. Apparently, I'm allergic to it.

This medication is wonderful. I take it for chest congestion and cough. I take 2 at bedtime. It truly keeps my cough under control and when I do cough it is very productive. I have found some interesting side effects....I feel like I smell like the tablets smell, it's strange but true.
