This product stops hacking coughs

Review Text: 
Last week I had a terrible cold the first one I had in a couple of years. The aches and pain in my bones were bad enough until I started with a dry hacking cough. I don't know how many kinds of cough syrup I consumed until I found the right one. Benylin Dry Cough. Before my throat felt so dry and irritated, I didn't think I was ever going to stop coughing and now, thanks to Benylin Dry Cough the hacking is gone and I'm starting to feel a lot better.

Ever have one of those coughs caused by a "tickley" throat? You'll be surprised how well this works. Take at bedtime and your cough will stop waking you up.

I've had a bad cough for a couple of weeks now so I've been trying various products and home remedies. This product had absolutely no effect on my cough. It was also fairly expensive, at $14 CDN, so I feel like it was a waste of money. I've had better results with menthol lozenges, or hot water with honey - both are much cheaper as well.
