Gave to my 3 yr old as prescribed by dr. (1/2 tsp 4xdaily). It works great I have not noticed any side effects. You MUST be sure to question the pharmacy and the dr. about the correct dosage or look it up online if you ever have any doubts.

My son has had a cough for two weeks now. The pediarician gave me a prescription for Bromfed and I followed the dosage of half a teaspoon 3 times daily for a week. Well, on the 7th day the last dosis was at 7 pm. At 2:30am my son woke up crying and screaming and he was shivering. I took him to the emergency room, I was told that Bromfed is more harmful than beneficial and to stop giving it to him...

SCARY for babies!!!! My 3 and 6 year old don’t seem to get much relief from this. But it doesn’t seem to negatively affect them either. My 1.5 year old on the other hand… DIFFERENT STORY! waking up screaming bloody murder and inconsolable about every 30-45 minutes throughout the night. (She usually sleeps through the night and hardly ever has tantrums, This is her 2nd night taking it (and second night acting this way) and I’m ripping all of them off of it tomorrow. She acts like she doesn’t realize who I am and terrified. Read More Read Less

It was $10 after insurance for me. I don’t hate it but I find it useless in comparison to Robitussin. No prescription needed and without the side effects. 33 yo Female, with positive COVID test. Vaxxed & boosted still having COVID symptoms.

Like all other cough syrups, this one also does not work. I was skeptical and even told the MD that I don't believe in the effectiveness of cough syrups, she assured me that Bromfed was different and works. Complete BS, no better than any of the useless stuff you get over the counter.

This stuff sucks does nothing but dry u up to the point of "cotton mouth" and doesn't help u get rest. If ur MD prescribes refuse it. Buy some OTC instead and save trouble and money.

This is the worst cough medicine I have ever taken. It tastes awful and does not work! It made me sick to my stomach and made my mind "race" all night. YUK!

It let me stop coughing and get some rest, but it dried up all my saliva to the point I couldn't get food down. Not worth it.

Dizzy, fatigued, slowed cough down, cleared some congestion for a while. Sure was able to sleep when I took it. Medicine made me feel worse then I was. Took over the counter Sudafed and Nasal Spray. Worked better and was cheaper.

Didn't provide any relief. My cough remains unproductive and I'm still congested. Breathing is a chore. Unsure why this medication is so pricey. OTC meds are more effective.

I was given this medicine when I had strep and URI. Four days later, I still have head/chest congestion. It has not helped one bit. Plus, every time I took it I had a horrible headache! Will go OTC from now on.

This medicine is expensive and not covered by insurance and is basically Sudafed plus cough medicine. Save your money and buy a cough medicine off the shelf which will work better than this!!!

I am taking this for flu/ bronchitis. Makes you sleepy within 30 mins. But it works to get rid of your urge to cough. Plus it cleared up my nose wonderfully....no nose spray! I do feel a little loopy on it but it helps me sleep like a baby. Not sure if I will use it during work hours so that makes me sad.

Prescribed for my 18 month old granddaughter... caused severe chapped lips and a rash on her face. Did not help much with the coughing because it was caused by postnasal drip. Immediately took her off it!
