Bronkaid Reviews
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "Really effective for COPD & 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!"
"I have asthma and ran out of my rescue inhaler. I took one dose of bronkaid and my chest tightness and wheezing diminished within half hour. Normally, if I do not have a rescue inhaler I would continue to get more short of breath and my wheezing would worsen severely. I highly recommend trying bronkaid if you find yourself in a similar situation."
For Cold Symptoms "I smoke way too much and get short of breath...started to take this along side of "Christophers 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..."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "This product is terrible I don’t have heart problems or high blood pressure so I took one it didn’t seem to help so I took another when it was time I got so much worse had to go to urgent care and my blood pressure was so high I almost had a stroke off of only two doses .I do not recommend this product and now I’m stuck with high blood pressure ever since ."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
"I have been taking Bronkaid for well over five years. Started taking it to help me clear my lungs while exercising. It has always helped. Whenever I get a cold or congested chest due to allergies, I take one dose in the AM and another at night. This drug helps me each and every time. Now I have contracted COVID and it has helped with chest congestion. Every person is different. I have never developed side effects while I just read that some people have developed some heavy side effects. Talk to your doctor, he may not recommend it. I did, and he told me to try it the first time five years ago or so. And I am good using it."
"I have been using Bronkaid for many years on an as-needed basis. I used to get bronchitis that led to walking pneumonia every Spring & Fall when the weather changed. Now, as soon as I breathe in and feel that painful catch, I take a Bronkaid and it stops both the bronchitis and walking pneumonia from developing. I haven't had bronchitis or walking pneumonia for over 10 years thanks to this medicine. Most times I only need to take it a few times to prevent bronchitis from taking hold and developing. This also means I don't need antibiotics to remove the inflammation from my lungs. This medicine is a lifesaver for me."
For Cold Symptoms "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."
For Cold Symptoms "Been suffering from asthma for a year now. I don't have great insurance or money to go. But after trying a couple of doses, I was breathing normally."
For Cold Symptoms "I mainly had congestion. It was great."
For Cold Symptoms "I haven’t breathed this easily in years until I took a dose of bronkaid! It works instantaneously and I felt oxygen moving around my body. Thanks to the discoverer!"
"I have been using Bronkaid Tablets daily for several years, I highly recommend this product."
