I have suffered for years from debilitating coughing episodes at the end of a cold cycle that would sometimes last for weeks. During my most recent cold, I went to the pharmacy to pick up some Zicam swabs that I always found work well in lessening my cold symptoms and noticed the Cough MAX spray product. Though topical sprays have never really worked for me, I decided to try it and I am so glad I did. I did not lose one hour of sleep due to coughing. I did not have to leave a meeting because of coughing. And I did not disturb other office staff because of my hacking cough. Thank you so much for this product. I will never be without it.

My mother and I always have horrible coughing bouts (usually all night long and sometimes during the day) at the end of any cold and they can last for weeks even with prescription cough medicine. My mother had to stop going to church after she would get a cold because she was disturbing others with her constant coughing. She now uses a few sprays of Cough Max before she goes in and she doesn't cough at all! This is the most amazing product on the market!

I often suffer from a relentless night cough for days when I catch a cold. Needless to say I don't sleep very well because the cough keeps me up as well as my husband. Fortunately my husband picked up the Zicam Cough Max from our local Wal-Mart. I tried it but honestly I wasn't expecting much relief. To my surprise it worked great! I am definitely hooked and will always keep this stuff on hand.
