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 75ml bottle — handbag, desk drawer and travel size.
The bottle for everywhere else
A cough doesn't stay home, and neither should the syrup. The 75ml Buttercup fits a handbag, coat pocket or desk drawer and clears the airport liquid limit, so relief is there on the commute and the flight. It's also the right size for a first try.
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.
