Works really well for my son. He was having really bad coughing fits, to the point of throwing up, so I decided to try this. Works fast and well, barely a cough for the 4 hour dose. He did not complain about the taste. Instead of using the cup provided, I use a Tylenol syringe to measure and give the dose. Overall, highly recommend
Great stuff

This is great cough syrup. It stopped my sons cough when he had covid. But I DESPISE the fact that there is red dye 40 in it. It makes my son misbehave terribly and bounce off the walls. If you can remove the dye I would give this 500 stars…..

My 4 year old came down with a horrible cough, and was having problems sleeping. I'm not a fan of giving medication to such a young child. I usually opt for natural remedies but, I could tell we needed something else to help her get the mucus out of her chest. I gave her a dose before bed, and she slept really well. Her cough didn't seem to bother her as much, and she slept comfortably. She did however hate the taste, and will probably never trust me when I say something doesn't taste thag bad ever again.

It does the job. I gave it to my kiddo who had a bad cough. Not a fan of giving medicine for more than a couple days and this did the job in a couple days so I can’t complain. I will keep in my medicine cabinet.

I have to bribe with gummy bears or ice cream and she still doesn’t want to take it. I believe the medicine works However this is the only medication my 5 year old gags when taking. If it tasted better this would be awesome. Unfortunately I’ll have to find something else.

4yr old had a bad cough and slight runny nose. Used this for two days, every four hours** and now he’s finally better thankfully ! I definitely believe making sure you’re taking it every four hours/ twice a day is important ! The taste to my son was VERY BAD, first time he spit it out, second time took a lot of convincing & bribery lol. After that, it got better the next times cause he would hold his nose while drinking it so definitely recommend holding their nose!
