Description
Robitussin Dry Cough Medicine – 100ml
Robitussin Dry Cough Medicine is a cough syrup designed to relieve dry, tickly, and irritating coughs. It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over.

How It Works
The active ingredient, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, works by acting on the cough centre in the brain to suppress the urge to cough. This helps to reduce the frequency and intensity of a dry, unproductive cough, providing soothing relief so you can rest and carry on with your day.

Adults and children aged 12 years and over: take 10 ml (two 5 ml spoonfuls) up to every 4–6 hours as needed. Do not take more than 4 doses (40 ml) in 24 hours. This medicine is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
