How Robitussin Cough & Cold Extra Strength Syrup Relieves Cold Symptoms?
Overview of Robitussin Cough & Cold Extra Strength
Robitussin Cough & Cold Extra Strength Syrup, in a refreshing cherry flavour, offers relief from multiple cold and cough symptoms. This extra-strength formula is designed to tackle common discomforts associated with colds, such as coughs, chest congestion, runny noses, and sore throats, providing comprehensive symptom relief in a 250 mL bottle.
Key Benefits and Relief Provided
This syrup provides targeted relief from several cold symptoms:
- Cough Suppressant: Dextromethorphan HBr helps to reduce the frequency and severity of coughs by suppressing the cough reflex.
- Relief from Chest Congestion: Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant, helping to loosen and clear mucus from the airways, making it easier to breathe.
- Soothes Sore Throats: While not a direct throat medication, its formula can help reduce the feeling of irritation that results in a sore throat.
- Relieves Runny Nose and Sneezing: Phenylephrine HCl helps to constrict blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing congestion and alleviating symptoms like a runny nose and sneezing.
