This product claims to be an expectorant. An expectorant is supposed to help release phlegm built up in the chest, which was what I desperately needed. Unfortunately, in my case, it dried up my throat and chest, raised my blood pressure and did not allow me to sleep for 24 hours now. Let's see what happens in the next 24 hours. This is not what I was expecting from an expectorant. And this was all from one dose. I would not recommend.

Works well but wish it lasted longer

Review Text: 
Im currently going through a very chesty cough. I find this is the only stuff that keeps my cough at bay. I do wish it lasted longer as the 8hr claim on the box is incorrect. I can usually go for about 3 - 4 hours before i break out in embarressing coughing fits again.

Outstanding product. Did exactly what was stated on the box, Fast, Effective Relief of Mucus & Phlegm, Chest Congestion and Sore Throat Pain. I was amazed how fast and efficient the product worked. I thought I would have to is a doctor, because of my restricted breathing. I could feel it working from the very first swallow. My mucus & phlegm cleared right up. Excellent product, worth every penny !!
