Tussionex Cough Syrup Consistency

I have taken TUSSIONEX several times when I've had bronchitis. It really breaks up the congestion and helps with the cough. I got a bottle today and the consistency is like
Water. My resolved has always been a thick consistency and gritty. I think it was watered down.

Hi Debe,

Given my past experience with cough syrup over the last 10-15 years, I've noticed similar discrepancies in other syrups (both OTC and Rx). In my two recent encounters, the codeine cough syrup my wife was prescribed also appeared watered down vs the last time I saw a bottle. Her OTC robitussin has seemingly been watered down as well.

One thing I will state is that it has been several years since I had last seen or used any form of cough syrup prior to this year....but the thing is, it used to be soooo thick with a molasses-like consistency that couldn't be forgotten to this day. So when I saw it again and it flowed like water I was very skeptical and intuitively assumed that they altered the formula in some fashion. Now seeing your post, I'm quite sure this is true; if only I had a bottle from 10 years ago to prove it.
