Product Review: Delsym Cough Syrup Suppresses Coughs for 12 Hours

My daughter had a horrible cough. If that wasn't bad enough, she had a potentially serious condition and was scheduled for an MRI. The only problem is that she would be required to stay perfectly still for an entire hour during the MRI. That is difficult in the best of times, but impossible with a persistent cough. She had tried numerous cough medications to no avail, so I was concerned we were going to have to reschedule the MRI. Thankfully, two friends recommended Delsym Cough Syrup. Though skeptical, I purchased it, gave it to her, and within 30 minutes she completely stopped coughing. Delsym is now the only type of cough syrup I use.

Delsym Cough Syrup works by sending a "don't cough" message to the cough reflex center in the brain. Thankfully, in my experience, this works well as the brain tends to obey the anti-cough message it receives. Besides the fact that it works, I like Delsym Cough Syrup for the following reasons:

1. Delsym Cough Syrup is the only over the counter cough medication that last for twelve hours. This is accomplished through a time-released formula. That means that it is only necessary to take it one time in the morning and one time in the evening. There is no need to carry some of the cough syrup with you to take throughout the day. Although it may not seem like much, only needing to take the cough medication twice a day rather than four or six times a day as is typical with other cough medications gives you that much less to think about when you're already not feeling well. It also means that it won't wear off while you're sleeping. With other cough medications that don't last as long, it is common to wake up in the middle of the night due to coughing and have to get out of bed to take more medication. Delsym's 12-hour time released cough syrup will suppress your cough all day long, and then provide a much-needed good night's sleep.
