Greenlin Dry Cough Adult is a non-drowsy medication designed to provide symptomatic relief from dry, painful, tickly coughs, as well as catarrh and nasal congestion. This formulation is specifically tailored for adults seeking effective cough relief without sedation.
Uses
Greenlin Dry Cough Adult is used to alleviate symptoms associated with dry coughs, including throat irritation, tickling sensations, and nasal congestion. It’s particularly beneficial for those needing relief without the drowsiness often associated with cough medications.
Benefits
- Relieves and controls dry, painful, tickly coughs
- Soothes and eases throat irritation
- Acts as a decongestant to clear blocked nose and catarrh
- Provides relief without causing drowsiness
- Suitable for daytime use
How It Works
Greenlin Dry Cough Adult contains two active ingredients:
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg): A cough suppressant that works on the brain’s cough center to reduce the urge to cough.
- Guaiphenesin (50mg): An expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus, making coughs more productive.
The syrupy base helps coat and soothe the throat, while the decongestant properties help clear nasal passages.
Dosage
Adults, the elderly, and children over 12 years: Take one or two 5ml spoonfuls four times a day. Do not exceed the recommended dose. This medication is not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
Duration of Action
The effects of Greenlin Dry Cough Adult typically last for several hours. For continuous relief, follow the recommended dosing schedule. If symptoms persist for more than a week, consult a healthcare professional.
Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or mild stomach discomfort. If any severe or persistent side effects occur, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Q Can my nine year old weighing 35kg take this cough syrup? If yes, what is the dosage to take? answer nowAsked by M. Hamza on July 15, 2025 9:34 pmA
Hello M.Hamza 👋🏼,
Greenlin Dry Cough Adult is generally formulated for adults and older children. However, a 9-year-old child weighing 35kg may take it with caution, but only under a doctor or pharmacist’s supervision, as it's not the standard pediatric formulation.
A typical safe dose for children over 6 years can be:
-
5ml (1 teaspoon) every 6 to 8 hours, not more than 4 times in 24 hours.
🔴 Important: Always confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before giving any adult cough syrup to a child, even if their weight suggests they may tolerate it.
