Greenlin Cough Linctus is a multi-action cough syrup designed to provide relief from various types of coughs and related respiratory symptoms. It is a combination medication that acts as both an expectorant (to clear mucus) and a soothing agent for the respiratory tract, making it a versatile choice for family medicine cabinets.
This product is primarily indicated for the symptomatic relief of coughs and congestion. it is used to:
Relieve Productive (Wet) Coughs: Helps loosen and thin thick mucus or phlegm, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.
Soothe Irritating (Dry) Coughs: Provides a protective coating over the throat to reduce the "tickle" that triggers repetitive coughing.
Ease Bronchial Congestion: Relieves the feeling of tightness in the chest associated with the common cold or mild bronchitis.
Alleviate Throat Irritation: Calms the soreness and inflammation in the throat caused by persistent coughing.
Adults: 10ml to 15ml (two to three teaspoons) taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (6 to 12 years): 5ml (one teaspoon) taken 3 to 4 times daily.
Children (2 to 5 years): 2.5ml (half a teaspoon) taken 3 times daily.
Note: Not recommended for children under 2 years of age unless specifically prescribed by a pediatrician. Always use the measuring cup provided for accuracy.
To ensure the linctus works effectively:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps the expectorant components of the syrup thin out mucus more effectively.
Timing: The last dose of the day is often most effective when taken shortly before bedtime to help reduce night-time coughing fits.
Measurement: Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the active ingredients are properly mixed.
Storage: Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
Greenlin typically contains a combination of:
Ammonium Chloride: An expectorant that helps to increase the volume and decrease the thickness of bronchial secretions.
Sodium Citrate: Helps to further liquefy phlegm and soothe the lining of the throat.
Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation that helps clear the nasal passages and provides a mild anesthetic effect on the throat.
Indicated For: Adults and children (2+) suffering from coughs associated with colds, flu, or minor upper respiratory infections.
Precautions: Some formulations may cause mild drowsiness. Use caution if you are driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Medical Consultation: If the cough persists for more than 7 days, is accompanied by a high fever, or if you have a history of asthma, consult a doctor or our pharmacist.
Q: Can I take this if I have a dry, tickly cough?
A: Yes. While it has expectorant properties, the "linctus" base is designed to be thick and soothing, which helps coat the throat and reduce the urge to cough.
Q: Can I take Greenlin with other cold medicines?
A: Be careful not to "double up" on ingredients. Many multi-symptom cold medicines already contain expectorants or cough suppressants. Check with our pharmacist before mixing treatments.
Q: Is it safe for diabetics?
A: Many linctuses contain sugar to provide the soothing texture. If you are diabetic, please check the label or ask our pharmacist for a sugar-free alternative.
