As I laid on the couch feeling dreadful and ill, with my two year old driving his truck on my face and my three year old spinning around in circles shrieking like three year olds do, I though "I've got to get some help". I asked the hubby to bring home neocitran and he came home with this. I rolled my eyes and thought "what the heck are you doing" and "never send a man shopping". But, to my surprise, it was even better than the original that I've turned to several times over the years. The taste was very mild, not overly sweet. Quite pleasant actually. And very effective. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a little extra symptom relief to get through the sick day. Because moms don't get sick days.
