Frequently asked questions
What is Zarbee's?
Zarbee's is a natural-style cough and wellness brand whose products are based on honey, used to soothe a cough and sore throat, with some products adding vitamins for immune support. There are separate versions for children and adults.
Does Zarbee's cough syrup work?
Honey is a well-recognised way to soothe a cough and throat irritation, and many people find honey-based products like Zarbee's comforting for the symptoms of a cold. It eases the cough rather than curing the underlying infection.
Is Zarbee's safe?
Used as directed for the right age, Zarbee's is generally well tolerated, but because the products contain honey they must not be given to babies under 12 months, as honey can rarely cause infant botulism in the very young. Always check the age guidance on the specific product.
Does Zarbee's contain paracetamol?
No - Zarbee's cough products are honey-based and do not contain paracetamol or other painkillers. That means you can usually give a paracetamol product like Calpol separately if needed, but always check both labels.
Can you take Zarbee's with Calpol or ibuprofen?
Because Zarbee's is a honey-based cough soother and does not contain paracetamol or ibuprofen, it can generally be given alongside Calpol (paracetamol) or a children's ibuprofen, as long as you follow each product's dose and age guidance. If you are unsure about combining them for a child, ask your pharmacist.
Can you take Zarbee's when pregnant?
Honey-based cough products are generally considered gentle, but it is still sensible to check with your pharmacist, midwife or GP before taking Zarbee's in pregnancy, especially the products with added vitamins. Warm honey and lemon drinks can also soothe a cough.
