Comment:
Experienced moderate dizziness, nausea which carried over even upon waking up in the morning. I used the Up&UP OTC formula, Target's generic version. Throwing this thing away!

Comment:
Chronic, long-term dry cough, due in part to high blood pressure meds. I took the pills -- the syrup is gross -- and it greatly reduced frequency and severity of cough. It especially curbed my extended coughing fits that got so bad I became dizzy during them. If I can find a cheap pill that lasts 12 hours I will use them regularly.

I took delsym and took the described amount. I was ok overnight and into the next day began having symptoms of overdose. Fast heart, dizzy, irritable, nausea, hallucinations. I took this for 2 days and had to stop. If this didn't happen the product was great

Comment:
Took OTC cough med with this ingredient. Hives, body itching, blurred vision, severe nausea, vomiting and drowsiness from suggested dose. Controlled the cold but obviously outweighed by side effects. Horrible experience.
