Amazing product that actually works – Ive been using this for years. Its effective and affordable but for some reason could not find it at the supermarket or pharmacy 4 less. I asked them why as its the most effective and soothing cough syrup. They said they can order it in. Of course did that and so relieved. I remember years ago I had coughing fits for 6 months. I used every cough… Read more

syrup around. This got rid the cough in a matter of days. Not sure why its hard to find. It must be the power of big pharma

Bonningtons Irish mosa cough syrup – I am at a,loss to understand why this is not available, unless of course that it is cheap and affordable, as for the alternatives offered they are more than 8 times the price and don't work. Time to get this sorted out, . So many others contribution to try and get it back and is simply not working, why? We need an answer please . Show details

BRING BACK IRIISH MOSS COUGH SYPRUP URGENT – Thank you Viatris for putting Irish Moss back on the shelves. I have many allergies and cannot take anything else. This product works so well in alleviating chesty coughs and giving you a good night's sleep. "The only other product was Scotts compound but you now have to contact compound pharmacy for that and it is out of the reach of normal folk. Show details

Bonningtons Irish Moss – This is the best cough medicine ever, I was so sad when I found out a few months ago that we can no longer purchase it in New Zealand. I’ve been using it for years, the most gentle cough mixture with no nasties. Please bring this back, sadly I now have a horrible cold, and have no idea what to use in its place. Nothing will replace it.

My favourite cough syrup – I've never used any other cough syrup until now, when I couldn't find it anywhere. I won't name the substitute I had to settle for, but it's not as good as Irish Moss. Show details

Best cough, sore throat syrup ever, no contest! – Great for asthma symptoms & clearing post nasal build up in the throat, there just isn't anything remotely similar. For those in the Sydney area I have found it in some Priceline stores, but you need to look around for it. I think if we ask for stores to stock it and it's available at the suppliers end we should see more of it around. Show details

The best cough medicine ever – Bonnington’s Irish Moss Cough Syrup has been bought by the Viatris company and we were told it will be back in production and back on the market in February 2024. At present this product is unfortunately unattainable. We have been using B I M C S since we were children and it has proven to be very good with sore throats and coughs. Show details

Irish Moss, Best Bonny Syrup – Why has Irish Moss stopped production? I have been using this product for longer that I can remember. It is by far the best cough syrup on the market. Please bring it back! Show details

My husband loves this cough syrup, doesn't like any other – Unable to find anywhere, told yesterday they are expecting it January next year, doesn't help for this winter. I'm dismayed at the amount of medications that are unable to be gotten. Show details

Great product that works for me and my kids – Pity that it has been discontinued, tried all the online pharmacies but it is out of stock everywhere. UPDATE: 12/7/23 I contacted GSK Australia and they told me that bonnington's irish moss is now controlled by Viartis. I rang them and they said the changeover has caused manufacturing delays and it will be available in February next year. Good news! Show details

Moss cough syrup discontinued? The TGA's investigation followed a review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending the withdrawal of marketing authorisations for these products in Europe. The European findings were supported by a Western Australian study which also showed that pholcodine was a risk factor.28 Feb 2023

Problem with lid – Medicine is great IF you can get the lid off, maybe it’s child proof? well it’s also adult proof too as a lot of older people don’t have much strength in their wrists like me, had to wait till this morning for son to take lid off, not buying it again as it’s TOO hard to open. Show details

excellent product but difficult to get the top off these days – I have found this product to be absolutely excellent for sore throat & difficulty breathing it clears my lungs which are sensitive to chemical fumes, smoke etc. My only criticism is that they have made the lids so terribly terribly difficult to open, and I'm unable to access what's inside the bottle without trying to find someone to help! This is a trend that has generally become popular amongst all manufacturing packaging and it's not helpful. Show details

Forget the rest - Bonninton's is the Best – The only consistently reliable cough syrup on the market today at an extraordinarily reasonable price. I've been using Bonnington's for over 20 years and it has yet to fail to deliver. Particularly good at soothing sore throats.  Show reply

wonderul – my mum gave this to me when I was sick as a kid in the 70's. (I used to get bad bronchitis) I am so happy they still make it with the same taste and formula. Bought this today on special for $5.00. I wouldn't be without it !

Not bad - soothes throat – Early gulps yet as I've just opened the bottle and am now doing some research on the stuff. So far its best effect is soothing a sore throat but it doesn't seem to suppress the coming cough which is what I want.

A very effective remedy – I have used bonningron irish moss for many years-i first heard a radio advertisement in association with 'mrs 'obbs.- a radio serial who sponsored it.Since then i have used it whenever i felt a cold coming on.Result? Very effective.

sick children – I didn't want to use a product with a pain killer,as my children had the symptoms of the cold coming on, all i wanted was a cough medicine. as a adult I've used this product for years, so i tried it on my 6yr old with out any drowsiness for school it worked so well i use it for all of us now it saves a lot of money (having one medicine for all the family) inexpensive one bottle for all
