Coricidin HBP Cold & Flu (acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine) "My first time trying. I have high blood pressure and afib so I'm careful about which cold/flu meds to take. My pharmacist recommended coricidin. It was an unbelievable good choice. Took two pills and an hour later my cold symptoms cleared up magically and I had such a good sleep."

Coricidin HBP Cold & Flu (acetaminophen / chlorpheniramine) "Have COPD have had cold for over a week. MISERABLE. Thank goodness mostly in my head but have to be careful because of my breathing difficulties. Usually get Dr to send prescription for antibiotics,prednisone and Mucinex, but this was just cold with no yellow mucous. My daughter swears on CORICIDIN and got it for me. Started taking 2 days ago. Felt better after first 2 doses. Much improved feeling human and thanks CORICIDIN for no hospital stay."

"This is a highly addictive medicine. My son has been addicted to this medicine for 9 years. In and out of rehabs. It’s his only drug and has ruined our lives. My wife and I fear he will die from this drug. This should be prescription only."
