Buttercup Original Cough Syrup 150ml is a traditional herbal cough remedy used to relieve coughs linked with colds. It contains squill liquid extract, an expectorant that helps loosen mucus, and capsicum tincture, which gives a warming sensation in the throat. The syrup coats the throat to reduce irritation and calm the cough reflex.

Key Features

Can Buttercup Original Cough Syrup help with both dry and chesty coughs?

Yes. It can be used for both dry and chesty coughs caused by colds. Squill helps loosen thick mucus in chesty coughs, while the syrup base soothes irritation that triggers dry or tickly coughing. One product can therefore support different cough phases.

Can I take this syrup with other medicines?

Consult a pharmacist or doctor before use if taking other medicines, especially those that interact with alcohol or medications that can affect the liver. Avoid taking other cough or cold remedies at the same time unless advised, to prevent accidental duplication of ingredients.
