Bronchostop Cough Syrup – 120ml

Description

Bronchostop Cough Syrup – 120ml

Bronchostop Cough Syrup is a traditional herbal remedy used to relieve both dry and chesty coughs in adults and children aged 12 and over. It combines two natural herbal ingredients to help soothe throat irritation and loosen mucus.

⸻

How It Works

Bronchostop Cough Syrup contains marshmallow root and thyme, which work together to tackle different types of cough. Marshmallow root forms a soothing coating over the throat to reduce irritation and calm a dry, tickly cough, while thyme helps to loosen and clear mucus, making it easier to cough up when you have a chesty cough.

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 12 and over should take 1 tablespoon (15 ml) up to 5 times a day. The syrup can be taken directly or diluted in a small amount of warm water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

• Anyone with a known allergy to any other ingredient in the product

Interactions

No significant drug interactions have been formally established with Bronchostop Cough Syrup. However, as marshmallow root may form a coating along the digestive tract, it could potentially slow the absorption of other medicines taken at the same time — it is advisable to take other medicines at least 30 minutes before taking Bronchostop. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

The safety of Bronchostop Cough Syrup during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. It is therefore not recommended for use during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

Bronchostop Cough Syrup does not contain alcohol and there are no known interactions with alcohol. However, as a general precaution, excessive alcohol consumption is not recommended when you are unwell or taking any medicine.

⸻
