Almus is the pharmacy-own brand — same job as the big names, sensible price. 200ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExpectorant, not suppressant\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chesty cough exists to move mucus, so the wrong move is to silence it. An expectorant thins and loosens the phlegm instead, making the cough productive rather than endless — which is why chesty and dry coughs need different bottles. The glycerin does the throat-coating that keeps the tickle down between coughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake by the spoonful as directed on the label, spacing doses through the day. Check the label for the minimum age and children's doses. Plenty of fluids helps the expectorant along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the sugar content if you're diabetic. A cough that runs past three weeks, brings up blood or discoloured phlegm, or comes with breathlessness or chest pain needs a GP, not another bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Almus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730068709763,"sku":"4220000","price":3.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/ayp-healthcare-almus-almus-chesty-cough-syrup-200ml-1787062660ezgif-437e3fe915e98dee.jpg?v=1788359524","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/almus-chesty-cough","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
