Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "It is week two of having COVID, and I was sick and tired of not being able to breathe. I ran out of NyQuil and searched around my medicine bin for something to help. I found an old pack of Bronkaid, and my God, it was a life saver. It really helped the symptoms of COVID. 10/10 would recommend."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "Couldn't breathe, and the doctor wasn't open. This medicine helped me breathe again in minutes :). The reason I couldn't breathe is complications from an upper respiratory infection. So happy the pharmacy suggested this."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I take this every time I get pneumonia, which is a few times a year, and I was born with bronchitis and will have it the rest of my life. It is a true life-saver for shortness of breath caused by pneumonia. Nothing else seems to do the trick."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "First-time user. Was having a slight deep cough, which alone would've been fine, but it was accompanied by shortness of breath, wheezing, and tightness in my chest (common asthma symptoms). I haven't had this problem in years, so I asked a pharmacist. She recommended this, and one dose made a huge difference. The tightness went away, and the breathing got so much better. Even the slight cough was productive now. Definitely recommend this to anyone with the same symptoms."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "Really effective for COPD and recurring pneumonia. I actually used it occasionally a few years ago, but then due to new laws, couldn't find it anymore. I recently bought one that I noticed behind the counter at the Safeway pharmacy and remembered why I liked them so well. Works great for clearing my morning airways!"

Primatene (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I have had a horrible cold with terrible coughs and unable to rest much. Mucus and stuffy/runny nose too. I took only one tablet, and it works better than the cold/flu medicine I have been taking for a week. I can breathe better, and my lungs feel much more free to breathe. Thanks!"

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I smoke way too much and get short of breath. Started to take this alongside 'Christopher's lung and bronchial,' and boy does it do the trick. I should not do this because it allows me to keep smoking without too much issue."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "Bronkaid has been my go to asthma drug since I was diagnosed with adult asthma. I've been using it on and off for over fifteen years. It works quickly and effectively with any loss of breath. One box has 60 tablets and lasts forever as you only need them to control bronchial spasms."

Primatene (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I had shortness of breath for 2 days. I'm not the type to sit in the emergency room over every cut and scrape. So I looked for something to help me breathe. I went to Walgreens, and the pharmacy suggested Primatene. It's amazing!"

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "New formula with pill imprint BRONK25, they basically removed the guaifenesin(Primatene Tablets had to do the same, not sure why) anyhow its been a lifesaver, have never tested positive for Covid, but started having shortness of breath episodes a few months back my heart checks out, Dr said my oxygen levels were fine, so I don't know what's going on, all I know is this relieves the symptoms within 20 minutes and I feel much less panicked by the SoB symptoms."

Primatene (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I first used the inhaler about a year ago, which actually seemed to make me worse. I have what doctors call bronchial asthma. So, over a month ago, I started to get sick. Took all kinds of over-the-counter meds, which never seemed to help. Within the last week, my breathing has become so bad that I'm basically only getting a few hours of sleep before I wake up gasping to breathe. I finally decided to try the tablets. At the moment, I have only taken 2, and I feel so much better. I should've gotten these a month ago."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "A few years ago I was on an immunosuppressive medication and kept getting upper respiratory infections. This really helped me breathe better, especially at night. I've had COVID-19 twice and took this both times. I had the raspy wet crackling breathing and this really helped open my airways and help my breathing. It does elevate my blood pressure but so far not to a dangerous level."

Primatene (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "Took Primatene while on vacation as I had a unexpected reaction to the smoke etc nearby forest fires all over California, I couldn't breath blocked up! This was recommended by my doctor and absolutely worked very quickly too. Did make me feel a little nauseous but I could breath, and that’s all that I cared about."

Primatene (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "I caught the flu a month ago which eventually turned into breathing difficulties and a never ending cough which is not good as I am a professional Singer ! I tried all the cough meds and syrups The cough would not relent ! Then I remembered about Primatene as I seemed to have all the symptoms of previous asthma attacks I had had Within two to three days of taking primatene the endless cough and wheezing has nearly completely stopped. I actually performed tonight for the first time without the continued feeling I have to cough ! It’s done wonders and I highly recommend it It truly truly has helped me to recover from the worst case of flu !"

"I've taken Primatene off and on now for 50 years and it's excellent for helping me breathe and only takes a couple minutes for it to start working. Right now they are off the shelf again which really ticks me off it's ridiculous also to have to obtain them by showing ID over the Pharmacy counter. Brokaid doesn't work for me at all so please get Primatene back on the shelves or where it can be ordered online. it's not covered by insurance but should be that's for sure -- the cost has risen over the years as everything else has and I am hoping they don't raise it again."

"This is a better cold and cough medicine combination than the others. I have been using it for about 5 years, but only when I get a cold and once in awhile. Also for shortness of breath since a cold triggers my very low grade asthma/bronchitis symptoms. Ask your doctor before taking this medicine."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "DO NOT USE. I was given this from a pharmacist when I was without my albuterol inhaler while on vacation. I was immediately hospitalized for symptoms of a heart attack and have since been hospitalized 3 more times for the after effects. I now have a disorder called Dysautonomia that has caused me to faint, have heart palpitations, have extreme nausea, chest pains, inability to swallow, loss of appetite, migraines, neck pain, dizziness, etc. for over two weeks. It was only one dose of the inhaler that did this to me. Every doctor I have spoken to cannot believe that it is sold on shelves as it is extremely dangerous."

Bronkaid (ephedrine / guaifenesin) "This is ephedrine. It relaxes the smooth muscles in your lungs. It also speeds your heart, which causes high blood pressure. Also makes you jittery. Also keeps you awake at night. It's mainly speed, low dose, but still affects you the same. Registered Nurse."
