Fisherman's FriendCough Drops, Cough Suppressant and Sore Throat Lozenges, Original Extra Strong, 10mg Menthol, 480 Drops (12 Packs of 40)

Every coupla years I get the flu or just a really bad cold. Hey, I'm getting up there in years, and even the best flu shots are typically only 25 to 30% effective.Inevitably, after the cold is over, I get a tickle down my throat that won't go away for weeks. It makes me cough. The coughing makes my throat irritated, which leads to more coughing. If you work in an office, people will think you have tuberculosis when you're hacking all day long.Within about ten seconds of using one of these, the tickle is gone, and the cough reflex stops. If there's one of those sudden 'fits' of coughing that won't let up, it might taken twenty or thirty seconds for it to get to work.But work it does. It CEASES the cough as long as you're working one.Problem is, it's not infinite. You have to keep feeding these over and over throughout the day to keep from coughing, or you get distracted and start coughing again and start working a new one.The worse problem is, frankly, they taste pretty terrible. It's the nature of the beast. It's a big old lump of Menthol with a little tiny bit of sugar to dampen it - ultimately not what you'd call a gourmet experience.But that's not what they're for. They are intended to stop a cough. And that they do better than any other lozenge or cough suppressant money can buy.This big box of them is a huge money saver. I looked it up, when I was buying them at the local drugstore, a 40 count two pack like this box contains would cost about $3.50. These after tax are about $2.00 per 40 count. I went through two boxes of these this past month and a half. That means if I'd bought them at the drugstore, I'd have paid about $84. With these, $52.50. Can't argue with that.

I really like these cough drops. They don't taste like candy, but they're not supposed to. they do the job without all the sugar that's in other cough drops.

I have sleep apnea and wear a CPAP and noticed that when I was putting my mask on, I was feeling like I was getting suffocated. But when I chew two of these before I put my mask on, it opens up my nasal passages and I no longer feel like I’m suffocating and I’m now able to wear my CPAP every night with no problem.I ordered these quite often. The packaging is nice and it’s an equivalent deal to what you can get at Walmart. I order these quite often. The packaging is nice and it’s a equivalent deal to what you can get at Walmart yet it’s delivered to your door, which is convenient.

I love these! Sometimes hard to find. They definitely have a strong flavor that most people either love or hate. Works great for sore or scratchy throats but I also like the flavor just as a 'mint'.

When I was young I new my mother always slipped a "cough drop" in her mouth before she would start singing. That was over 60 years ago and I was so excited to find Fisherman Friend at Amazon! I was excited but didn't know if they were still the same. I ordered a small package but when I tasted them I ordered a box of them! They are great and truly do better than the sugary cough drops. You can feel the relief all down your throat! I have shared them with family and friends since I got them. My daughter LOVED them so much I am going to put them in her Christmas stocking this year!

I love these cough drops, they actually to suppress the cough

When you find something that actually works, you stick with it. Everything else is just candy. Top notch sell, good price, fast delivery, plenty of flavors to choose from… what more could you ask for? I shall return for more.
