Medicine isnt candy!
Everybody complaining about the taste like it’s supposed to be candy. It’s medicated cough drops. It’s going to taste like medicine. Grow up. They work amazing and fairly quickly. I wish the medicated aspect lasted a little longer for cough suppression. With a severe cough I only get suppression relief for maybe a half hour to an hour. Still way better than nothing. When paired with actual cough suppression/flu medication, these are fantastic.

Just a weird cough drop overall
Some people might like these because they “work” but they do so by numbing your tongue, throat and mouth. They also cause shortness of breath, They don’t contain menthol and have a bad aftertaste. So yeah, they suppress the cough but don’t plan on going to fine dine after taking one. You won’t be able to taste anything. I’m happy using taking menthol cough drops to soothe a sore throat. It’s not normal to suppress your cough anyway.

The BEST COUGH drop.
I am currently sick with the flu. I’ve been taking these a few times daily and I think they work VERY WELL for a cough, don’t be turned off by the bad reviews most of them didnt even give this a chance. especially about taste. First of all, cough drops are medicine guys they’re not supposed to taste like candy??? The ones saying this didn’t help with a sore throat, I guess reading is key as these ones are specifically made for a cough as they have dextramorphan. I would 1000% recommend these to someone with chest congestion & a cough!!

Terrible Bitter Taste, Numbs Tongue??
These taste terrible, like that bitter taste you get when you put an aspirin on your tongue and it starts to dissolve before you wash it down. Also makes your tongue numb like other reviewers said. Had to spit out the first one after a few minutes because I just could not deal with the taste.

Best cough suppressant drop we have used
My daughter, 13, used these recently when she had a pretty bad cough and they worked really well. They are slightly numbing which she didn’t need (no sore throat) but the cough suppressant was the best she has used. She very noticeably quieted down when using these.

Most effective drops
The blue music’s drops are amazing and have helped me when I am sick like no other product. The combination cough and sore throat actives and very helpful. I can never be without these and even take them With me when I travel.
