How It Works
The syrup works through a dual-action mechanism. The Dilute Acetic Acid helps suppress cough reflexes, while the demulcent base creates a soothing coating on the throat, reducing irritation and the urge to cough. The pleasant blackcurrant flavor enhances compliance in young children.
Duration of Action
Effects typically begin within 15-30 minutes after administration. Relief usually lasts 2-3 hours, though individual response may vary. Can be safely repeated as needed according to dosing instructions.
Dosage
Administer slowly:
- 3 months – 1 year: 2.5ml (half a 5ml spoon)
- Over 1 year: 5ml (one 5ml spoonful)
- Over 2½ years: 10ml (two 5ml spoonfuls) Repeat every 2-3 hours as needed.
Side Effects
Generally very well-tolerated. Rare cases may experience mild stomach upset. No known serious side effects when used as directed.
