56 years old and I still remember the foul taste of this stuff. Could not stand the smell of artificial strawberries for years after taking it. But it worked well.

Does anybody know anything about how this medication impact a child development when taken between the age of 6 months to 5 years. Also found that Quadrinal is similar or associated with Quatrasal.

This drug was a godsend for the occasional treatment of asthma. The standard sized pill was to high a dose for me. A quarter of a tablet was most effective and worked within minutes. Yes, it is bitter, but you are supposed to swallow it with a glass of water, not chew it. Most useful drugs are poisons if you have too much. In a wiser world, we would be educated enough to learn how to titer ac ... Show Full Comment

Yes, it is bitter, but you are supposed to swallow it with a glass of water, not chew it. Most useful drugs are poisons if you have too much. In a wiser world, we would be educated enough to learn how to titer according to our individual differences. There are multiple genes that dictate what is a useful dose, and in the future when knowledge of our genetic disposition is commonplace, we will understand that one size does not fit all.

I remember crying and crying when I had to take this stuff. I don't really remember the asthma so much but I do remember this. They mixed in an artificial strawberry flavor to it and for decades I could not go near anything that even smelled of strawberries. Quadrinal to my memory was next to useless other than as a form of torturing a small child. Once my father took it for a cold and threw up. He took it once. I had it forced on me dozens of times. Quadrinal was medical torture, a torture that my mother was only too eager to participate in.

As a child I took this drug for my asthma attacks. It did taste awful and made me very moody afterwards, but it was the only thing I could take that would break the mucus loose in my lungs so I could cough it up.
