I often get bronchial cough and larygitis. When the mucus is thick Tessalon has always helped ease the coughing and helped my body remove phlegm by thinning mucus.

Prescribed for bronchitis. Does absolutely nothing. I'd have been better off with Robitussin.

I've tried this now two different times, just recently and 3 years ago. Neither time was it effective at all.

I have never taken a pill for a cough before and found it very effective. I was to tired of coughing and this medication arrested almost immediately. I was amazed and had to actually notice that I was no longer coughing.

This is the only drug that really gets rid of my cough. Nothing, so far, has worked better.

The medicine worked great for the first 24 hours. But then it seemed to stop working after that. My cough came back full force after the first day. Hopefully it works better for people with less severe coughs.

When I began taking the medication, I experienced an extreme amount of stuffiness. It was a little overwhelming. However, after the second day the cough began to subside. It worked when nothing else would work.
