Covonia Original Bronchial Balsam is an over-the-counter dry cough suppressant and warming throat syrup. Each 5ml dose contains Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (7.5mg) and Menthol (2.5mg) in a deep, soothing syrup base.
Taken by mouth, adults and teenagers aged 12 and over use it for the fast relief of dry, tickly, unproductive coughs and throat irritation caused by common colds, flu, or bronchitis.
A dry cough produces no phlegm and can leave your throat raw, inflamed, and constantly irritated. Covonia Bronchial Balsam works through a dual mechanism:
Suppresses Cough Reflex: Dextromethorphan acts directly on the cough center in the brain to reduce the constant, involuntary urge to cough.
Soothes Irritated Throat: Menthol provides a immediate, deep cooling and warming sensation down your throat, calming raw irritation and helping ease mild nasal congestion.
Coats the Throat: The thick liquid formula coats sensitive nerve endings in the throat to protect against tickles caused by cold, dry air.
🚨 Warning: Do NOT use this syrup if you have a chesty, mucus-producing cough.
Suppressing a productive cough prevents your lungs from clearing out phlegm and fluid, which can worsen chest infections.
🚨 Critical Interaction Warning: Do NOT take this medicine if you are currently taking, or have taken in the last 14 days, Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) or SSRIs for depression. Combining dextromethorphan with these medications can trigger a dangerous condition called serotonin syndrome.
Drowsiness Notice: Dextromethorphan can cause mild drowsiness or dizziness in some people. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel groggy after taking a dose.
Asthma & Breathing Issues: Do NOT take during an active asthma attack or if you have severe chronic respiratory disease.
Sugar & Alcohol Content: Contains sucrose (table sugar) and small amounts of ethanol (alcohol). Use with caution if managing diabetes.
Age Limit: Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and older. Do not give to children under 12 years of age.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle vigorously before each dose.
Adults and Children Aged 12 Years and Over: Take 10ml (two 5ml spoonfuls) every 4 hours as needed.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do NOT exceed 4 doses (40ml total) in a 24-hour period.
Use the Spoon Provided: Always measure your dose using a proper measuring spoon or cup.
Covonia Bronchial Balsam is generally well-tolerated, but minor side effects can include:
Feeling sleepy, drowsy, or dizzy.
Mild stomach discomfort, nausea, or constipation.
Allergic reactions (such as skin rash or itching) in rare cases.
Will Covonia Bronchial Balsam make me sleepy?
It can cause mild drowsiness or lightheadedness in some individuals due to dextromethorphan. It is best to see how your body reacts before driving or performing complex tasks.
What should I do if my cough doesn't improve?
If your cough lasts for more than 7 days, keeps returning, or comes with a high fever, chest pain, or blood, stop taking the syrup and see a doctor right away.
How should I store this bottle safely?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in its original carton to protect it from light. Store in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat, and keep completely out of reach of children.
