Calms your cough so you can sleep
When you especially have bad nighttime coughing this works really well cuz it only has the suppressant and not the expectorant. I did want to be coughing it up all night. I want a good night's sleep, this works better than any other I have used. It has dose that lasts for 12 hours so you don't have to get up during sleep to take some more. If really need lots of sleep even during day, you can two doses in 24 hours.

if you call and you need to buy cough medicine this is a product that is as good as delsym. I've been buying it for a long time whenever I need it and I save at least $5 by buying it and not delsym. a lot of store brands are just as good as the expensive store name brands. next time you need cough medicine give it a shot.

Generic Delsym—As Good As The Best
Dextromethorphan is the best cough medicine there is (in my opinion—it's also the best thing the CIA has ever done) %26 this medicine—a generic of Delsym, admittedly—is the longest lasting, %26 potentially (whether subjectively %26/or objectively) best form of the medicine at one of if not the cheapest price available. Would recommend to everyone. 10/10 💯🔥👌😄🤌
