third day of a cold I caught. It's horrible, the worst I have ever had. I increased my dosage to 7.5 three times a day as that is what worked before, but not this time. I am at my wits end, the cough keeps me awake and off and on all day I am coughing, it's a wet cough sometimes and other times dry. I have coughed so much I hurt all over. I am very disappointed to say the least.
Robitussin Chesty Cough Forte
Life Saving – June 2022 - After 4 days of a terrible flu, I was left with an annoying cough for 5 weeks. I finally went to Chemist Warehouse and Robitussin… Read more
Chesty Cough Forte was suggested. After the very first dose, my complaint showed improvement. July 2023 - Feeling like hell with chest congestion, wheezing and a constantly dripping nose, I should've taken my Robitussin earlier and would've nipped the virus in the bud. Once again, after the first dose there was an improvement and after the second, a marked difference. That's when my mental attitude changed from miserable to being able to cope. I'll take the mixture until the cough and congestion has disappeared. This product is truly wonderful.

I bought these 2 years ago, to prepare myself for the cold and flu season, I was lucky enough I did not catch a cold last but this year I did, they… Read more
had plenty of use by date and expired in Sep 2025. I don’t know what they are doing with cold and flu tablets but they don’t work like they used to. I requested the pseudoephedrine brand as the other chemical compound does absolutely nothing for me and to my disappointment it did not work for my aches and pains, cough or runny nose. I woke continuously throughout the night, could not sleep and I did nothing but toss and turn. I assumed the night time tablets were meant to calm and relax the body for a good nights sleep like they used to, they do the exact opposite, I was so wired it kept me awake all night, waking up every hour or so, it finally began to wear off at about 9 or 10 the next morning. Never again. Gone are the days you took cold & flu tablets to soothe and ease discomfort. I have had better luck with Panadol and Nurofen than I did with these. Never did I think it would’ve been the worst nights sleep ever. Codral are not a brand I would ever use again. Check out other brands before you decide to go with codral day & night.
Demazin Cold Relief Blue Syrup
It actually works – Tried everything over the years. This is by far the best and it's the only one I use now. Tastes ok and the kids agree. Don't waste your money on other products Show details

Codral Day & Night
The daytime nasal decongestant in these capsules is completely and utterly useless. No noticeable difference whatsoever. The night time capsules… Read more
seem to work well, and if that's all I'd paid for, this would be a 5 star review. I would have been better off just buying the night time version and taking panadol during the day.
about average – I bought one of these packs from the guardian chemist in stockland corrimal back in 2001 after the lady there recommended them and found them great though that was after the doctor said my flu had settled down Show details
Codral Cold & Flu
Effective tablets against flu. However you have to take two tablets for effective solution against flu. Price also reasonable. Only $8 for 10 tablets. HIghly recommended. 4/5.

that sick. The cough was a choker and being full of phlegm did not help my situation. I bought Bisolvon Chesty Forte Double Strength on the recommendation of my doctor. I have never been able to effectively cough up phlegm.Bisolvon thins and loosens the mucus,clearing it from my chest and relieving the incredible congestion. My doctor said to make sure whatever I bought contained Bromhexine..but he recommended Bisolvon…It started making a big difference within two doses. I paid $17.99 for 200ml. It is sugar free..alcohol free..colour free..gluten free..lactose free. It is chocolate cherry flavoured making it pleasant to taste. I have not experienced any side effects. I bought it from the Wholelife Pharmacy at Redland Bay Qld. Getting sick can be expensive but this product is worth ever cent.

every time.
During winter I take three a day as a maintenance dose…but…it’s winter and if a cold catches me on the hop I take the recommended 3 three times a day, that reduces severity of symptons dramatically.
They are $19.99 for 60 tablets,they are value for money..the tablets are small and easy to swallow.In all the years I have been taking them I have never had any problems..A Fabulous Product.
