I've had migraines for weeks caused by blocked sinus's. For weeks now and In the past I've always been put on codral day and night to help my sinus's and relieve the migraines.. instead it's given me massive tummy aches ON TOP of already feeling nasty. And the feeling of needing the toilet non stop. And with a migraine it dosnt help as it hasn't done anything . In the past it has always been a fantastic product but now with the new formula it's done nothing to help ease or...Read more
elevate except caused more pain and sickness.. and to make matters worse I was looking forward to a decent sleep.. omg this crap kept me awake all night and when I fell asleep I am in a light sleep and can hear everything..

Epic fail
I was counting on this to provide relief from runny nose, runny eyes, sore throat and sneezing. It used to work.
I started to panic when it was offering absolutely NO relief, at this time no body wants to think they have something other than cold or flu!
Then I realised the formula has changed and there’s nothing useful in it.
Don’t waste your money and don’t be alarmed when it doesn’t work.

Horrible!
I started feeling sick with a flu so I took 1 codral relief 6 signs. It helped a little but I was also taking other stuff like Strepsils and throat gargle. It kept me up most of the night and the next day I still felt awful so I took another at lunch time and didn’t help much at all I still had chills and body aches. Really blocked nose and it made me feel sick in the stomach. (I took it with a small amount of food)
So this is the second night taking them and my heart is racing, I can’t sleep even tho I haven’t slept and I honestly just feel a...Read more
s though I haven’t taken anything. Maybe I need a higher dose but didn’t want to feel even more sick in the stomach. I realise now I should have brought the night time ones but I took it at lunch time and still can’t sleep.

Does very little, if anything at all.
The new formula is a fail. Should be banned for false advertisement. It hasn't stopped my nose dripping and I still feel like crap. Bring back the old formula that actually worked.

Useless
Made me feel sleepy and did nothing for my nasal congestion. The original formula was much more effective. A real shame that it doesn’t seem to be made any more.

I'm still alive!
So glad I finally bought this after cold after cold all this winter. Now I have the flu! Shaking and trembling, fevered, diarrhea, coughing up a lung that doesn't help having emphysema! Body aches and skin crawling - ugh, thought I was close to death and redoing my will.
So, I took 2 of the daytime tablets 4 hours ago and lay on my death bed and wallah! now I'm much brighter, still coughing but runny nose not so bad and more energy without muscle pain and more energy and able to get up and deal with life without saying my prayers ad nausea um. Time to take my 2nd lot for the day and hope the relief continues.

Makes me nauseous
I had regular flu symptoms and took this to ease the bad muscle aches and temp fluctuations but it made me feel really sick. 20 minutes after taking two day tablets I ended up vomiting. I felt nauseous for three days after. So bad. Made it much worse. Bring back the codeine formula- at least it was somewhat relieving.

Does not work.
This product did virtually nothing to relieve my symptoms. Avoid altogether and look for the Original Formula instead. In NSW that means handing over some I.D to make the purchase so make sure you have some handy.

Waste of money
The old formula was more effective
I didn't notice any improvement at all.
It didn't ease any of the symptoms such as running nose and watery eyes
Very frustrated with the product

Does not dry up a runny nose or stop watery eyes at all . Did not notice any improvement whatsoever. The old version was much better . This is a complete failure .

Not work
Did nothing for me too. Nose kept dripping. I take Telfast usually for allergy and it works but not Codral and it was recommended by doctor. Did not have running nose but after taking it my nose dripped....

I have a cold and my nose is running like a tap. The new formula doesn’t dry up my nose
The new formula didn’t dry up my nose or relieve my symptoms in any way. I don’t think I’d bother buying that’s again. My nose is still running like a tap.

No good!!!
I've still got a box of this with codeine (new formula) & each time I tried for my colds or stuffy nose & headaces, it's made me feel worse. I was going to throw out when I first bought but ended up keeping it because of the ban of codeine & I like the codeine when I've needed it. I believe the other new ingredient in the codural is making my stomach react, I took last night & earlier today & I feel like throwing up! I've only got 4 tabs left & once finished, never buying again, especially with all the bad feedbacks of the newer codural doing absolutely nothing! Bring back the older days when codural actually worked!!!

What a joke
I tried the new codral without codeine. Why bother? Don’t bother. It does nothing but gives one a dry mouth. What a joke. I will not be recommending this to anyone!

New Formula doesn’t work
Don’t bother. New formula doesn’t have codeine (due to laws from Feb 1st), and it doesn’t have pseudoephedrine (which has been replaced with the poor substitute phenylephrine). So basically these are useless for treating nasal congestion and the aches associated with the flu. Probably better off sucking strong lozenges and using ibuprofen. You really used to be able to ‘Soldier On with Codral’, but not any more.

Waste of money
I was prescribed this from the doctor after having a cold. After 3 days straight I noticed no change and decided to check the ingredients. There's no codeine yet I have to get a script for if and it still cost the same. Obviously codeine is the magic ingredient and and pointless without it.

Why change formula from original that was working
I have always bought codral cold and flu tablets bought the new formula (relieves 6 signs of flu) did absolutely nothing, They have taken out the codeine but not replaced it with anything but still charging the same amount I won't be recommending codral brand to anyone at all. Disappointed with new formula does not relieve flu symptoms at all.

Is this product safe at night or will i be wide awake?

Hi, no it does not keep u awake but when i took it it made me feel worse and i had a major headache for 1 week straight and made me feel lightheaded and sick so it was absolute waste of time for me cos it did not work at all but everyone has different reactions to things so can try if u like cos it may work differently for you but me personally will never take it again, panadol worked way better. So if you try it, Goodluck :)
Hi, I think this would be fine to take. To be honest when I took it, it had absolutely no effect on me. I thought I must have had the worst cold ever, until I realised it was the "new and improved" formula. I would never ever take this one again.
No, it won't keep you awake, they do not have night time tablets in this pack. As for the comment about Panadol working better... These contain 500mg of Panadol... that's the same as regular Panadol...lol
