Covonia Original Bronchial Balsam Syrup provides fast-acting relief from dry, irritating coughs associated with colds and bronchitis. Its dual-action formula soothes the throat and suppresses coughing for easier, more comfortable breathing.
Covonia Original Bronchial Balsam Syrup provides fast, soothing relief for dry and non-productive coughs associated with colds, flu, and mild bronchitis.
This trusted UK cough syrup helps suppress persistent coughing, soothe throat irritation, and ease chest discomfort for easier breathing and restful sleep.
Key Active Ingredients:
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (7.5mg/5ml): a cough suppressant that blocks signals in the brain’s cough centre, reducing the urge to cough.
Menthol (2.5mg/5ml): provides a cooling and mild decongestant effect, helping open nasal passages and soothe the throat.
