Does everything it says, acts fairly quickly and lasts a long time . I took it at night because it made me sleepy; I suspect that may be an age-related matter.

I notice someone’s review stated it did nothing for their dry cough so my recommendation is get the product that says dry cough relief not wet cough relief. With this product you have to make sure you but the right one.

Worst product ever had.

The product is just a waste of money. I relied on it for 3 days but not even a single day i was relieved from dry cough and sore throat. Interestingly the syrup didn’t make a difference at the time of having it. The time i consumed it, not even for few seconds i felt relieved from any of the symptoms they claim to cure. Totally waste of time and patience.
