| econnell's Full Review: Dimetapp DM Cold & Cough Elixir |
I purchased this because my son's pediatrician recommended it and, while it seems to work pretty well for the kids (I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old), I may rethink giving it to them after my own experience with it last week.
I had a cold and was out of my usual medicine so I took the adult dose of the Dimetapp elixir. It did get rid of my symptoms, but left me extremely fuzzy and feeling odd. My children do not seem to have this reaction (maybe it is me) but it took a full ten hours for the "medicine head" feeling to wear off after my initial dose.
It got rid of my stuffiness and left a typical dry nasal cavity kind of feeling that is typical of liquid products I have used. It also eased a scratchy throat but I am a little nervous about the degree to which it left my pupils dilated and my mind buzzed out.
I may purchase it again for my kids but probably decrease the recommended dosage after consulting with their pediatricians. I would recommend it only after consultation with a physician and I certainly would not drive again while taking it.
