Who is Robitussin Dry Cough 250ml suitable for?

This syrup is for adults, older people, and children aged twelve years and over. It is not meant for young children, so carers should seek a child cough guide instead. Buyers with long term illness or on repeat drugs should check with a doctor or chemist first. This helps make sure the cough mix is safe with current health needs and any set plans. People who had past allergy to any part of the mix should not take this syrup.

How does Robitussin Dry Cough 250ml work?

The key part, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, is a cough suppressant that acts on the brain. It eases the cough reflex, so the need to cough grows less strong and less often. This suits dry, tickly coughs where little or no mucus is made in the chest. By calming the cough, the throat gets less rub and may feel more at ease over time. Many users find this helps break the cycle of night cough and poor sleep.

What kind of cough is Robitussin Dry Cough 250ml best for?

Robitussin Dry Cough 250ml is for dry, harsh, tickly coughs with no clear chest phlegm. These coughs often give a deep hack, sore throat, and night time sleep breaks. It is not aimed at chesty coughs where mucus needs to shift from the airways. For cough with thick phlegm, a chesty cough mix or doctor check may suit more. If a cough brings blood, chest pain, or long fever, seek fast medical help.
