Robitussin is now available in capsule form!

As a child I was susceptible to chronic bronchitis, and once a year or so would develop a cough so severe that it would keep me out of school for a week. The only product that made a dent in the cough at the time was Robitussin cough syrup, and from an early age I learned to associate the taste of the stuff with nausea and sick headaches. I would prefer almost any meds to Robitussin cough syrup.

So being able to get the stuff in liqui-gel capsules is a ray of friggin' sunshine in a dark, dark world.

robitussin, also nyquil, in capsule form

Is this not a joyful thing? I tend to use cough syrup specifically as opposed to the full spectrum stuff like nyquil (already using claritin, aleve, whatever) but they all taste nasty

I actually kind of like the taste of cough syrup. But it does me no good, since over-the-counter cough suppressants do nothing for me. Despite this, I try them every time I get a lingering cough, until I finally break down from lack of sleep and ask my doctor for a hydrocodone prescription. (If there are liqui-gels for those, no one's told me.)

Tastes vary. So do brands' flavoring agents--most of them make /my/ palate try to crawl into my sinuses for protection.
