Product overview

About Buttercup Original

The cough syrup with a century of British bedsides behind it. Buttercup Original is a traditional herbal medicinal product used for the relief of coughs, colds and sore throats, based on traditional use only — squill liquid extract and capsicum tincture in a thick, warming, non-drowsy syrup. The 200ml bottle — the family size for a winter of coughs.

The household bottle

When a cold goes round the house, 150ml vanishes in days. The 200ml bottle keeps everyone dosed through the week and works out cheaper per spoonful — the sensible buy for families and for anyone who reaches for Buttercup every winter.

How to take

Take by the spoonful as directed on the pack, repeating through the day as needed. Non-drowsy, so fine for work and driving. Check the label for the minimum age and children's doses.

Good to know

Contains sugar — diabetics should factor it in. A cough that runs past three weeks, brings up blood, or comes with breathlessness or chest pain needs a GP, not a bigger bottle.
