Robitussin Dry Cough 200ml is a cough suppressant for dry, tickly coughs. It suits adults, the elderly, and children over twelve who have a stubborn, hacking cough with no mucus. The active ingredient dextromethorphan acts on the brain’s cough centre to reduce the urge to cough. This helps calm irritation in the throat and support daily tasks during colds or flu. The sugar free cherry flavour liquid is easy to take and gentle on teeth and blood sugar. Many people choose this trusted pharmacy brand when they need fast, long lasting dry cough relief for up to six hours.

Who can use Robitussin Dry Cough 200ml?

Robitussin Dry Cough 200ml is for adults, the elderly, and children aged twelve years and over. It is not for younger children, so parents should seek child specific options instead. People with long term lung disease, chronic cough, or cough with a lot of mucus should seek advice. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking regular medicines should talk to a pharmacist or doctor first.

How does Robitussin Dry Cough 200ml work?

The active ingredient dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that acts on the brain. It helps dampen the cough reflex, so you cough less often and less harshly. This can ease soreness in the throat and chest from repeated coughing bouts. Longstanding clinical use shows dextromethorphan offers short term relief for dry, hacking cough.

Does Robitussin Dry Cough 200ml contain sugar, alcohol, or colour?

The liquid is sugar free and sweetened with maltitol, sorbitol, sodium cyclamate, and acesulfame K. It does contain a small amount of alcohol and the colourant amaranth, which some people prefer to avoid. Each dose is low in sodium and classed as essentially sodium free. Anyone with known intolerance to sorbitol, maltitol, or sensitivity to certain colourings should check the label before use.
