I am sick and tired of being ripped off on a constant basis. So many times i have advised them about their quality control. I keep getting packs with… Read more

1 or 2 short lozenges. When there is only 10 of them and you end up with just a chip of one or even half of one. Why doesn't their machinery and sensors pick up these part lozenges? This week i had a pack with 3 lozenges in the same pack that were about 1/4 to 1/3 size. That means i only got 7 lozenges and a few chips out of 10. When we used to pay only $2 for a pack of 3 well it didn't hurt the wallet as much as it does now. Each shopping trip i pick up 4 packs of 3 that is 2 x Anticol and 2 x Butter Menthol for a total of about $28 ($6.98 per pack) It works out close to 25cents a lozenge and when you end up missing 10 in total from these packs each time that can be $2.50 each week we get them... Doesn't sound like much but it adds up... That can be as much as $130 a year. Some times its just screwed up paper in place of a lozenge. The two below came out in the last 5 lozenges of a pack and there was also one that was the third one in. Didn't have that one cause i was out at the time and i tossed the chip bit away. So to my surprise another two in the same pack. I am mising around 10-15% of my lozenges each time i buy the things. How many other people out there are finding the same thing...missing lozenges or part lozenges? Let's stand up and let them know.

in the west. I am often allergic to cough medication. They really work on my sinuses and whole respitary system. I'm really worried that I wont be able to find them in stores now that winter has arrived. Taste not too sweet. Smooth to the tongue.

Warehouse - possibly the markup is better for them but will not buy again. Looking carefully at the small print the bottle states "Marshmallow has been traditionally used in western herbal medicine" Waste of time

Revolting taste – Very strong, very revolting flavour that lingers. Tastes like something poisonous. I don’t know if it works because I couldn’t take more than one dose. I would not use again or recommend. Show details

The “Honey Lemon Flavour” does very little to mask the bitter, harsh and unpleasant taste of English Ivy leaf (Hedera helix). Within seconds, I… Read more

noticed a lingering aftertaste with an unpleasant “afterburn”.

It may have expectorant, antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties, but the flavour is borderline unbearable.

The marketing claims of “Soothes sore throats” and “Available in a great honey lemon flavour” are hard to reconcile with my experience. To me, it tasted more like lemon peel with a chemical edge than anything soothing or pleasant.

packaging it should be expelled from the packaging as a mist, well NOPE. Comes out as a weak spray of liquid, doesn't reach anywhere near the throat and the stupidly placed applicator nozzle is useless, only able to turn sideways. What a waste of money. Don't know it's a problem until you buy it and take it home. Avoid. Should be pulled from the shelves.

Worthless – This "medicine" has many variations of its name. My review is about the one in the title. I can't speak to the others, but this is totally useless. It does nothing to relieve dry cough; absolutely nothing.
