Introducing cough lozenges

When you’re suffering with a cough, you’ll do just about anything to get it to stop! And DURO-TUSS^® can help you, with a range of over-the-counter cough liquids to suit a range of coughs.

So what is a cough lozenge? Lozenges are kind of like a hard lolly – in that they are intended to be sucked and dissolve slowly in your mouth. But these guys are medicated, which means they contain special active ingredients that work to relieve your cough symptoms.

And the added benefit of cough lozenges? They’re portable and super convenient to take – no need to measure out a liquid dose or carry around water to swallow tablets! So let’s find out more about DURO-TUSS cough lozenges and how they can help switch off your cough and get you back to normal.

Chesty Cough Lozenges

What about when you get a chesty cough with that congested feeling in your chest? These chesty coughs are also common with viral infections of your airways such as colds and flu. But these ones develop in response to excess mucus production in your airways, as the coughing is your body’s way of trying to get rid of the mucus from your airways.

For relief of chesty coughs, you’ll need to look for over-the-counter cough medicines that contain a mucolytic – an ingredient that helps to break down and liquefy mucus, which makes it easier to clear out when you cough. DURO-TUSS has a range of Chesty Cough Liquids to help you out but when you need convenient relief, reach for DURO-TUSS Chesty Cough Lozenges, available in Berry or Lemon flavour, to switch off your cough.

What’s inside and how does it help your chesty cough?

Bromhexine hydrochloride: Bromhexine is a mucolytic that works to break down mucus and clear mucus from the chest.
