Product overview

About this syrup

The cough remedy grandmothers swear by, done properly: glycerol, liquid glucose, lemon and honey in a smooth syrup that coats an irritated throat, relieving coughs and sore throats the gentle way. No drowsy antihistamines, no suppressant drugs — just a classic demulcent that works. 200ml bottle.

Why the old recipe endures

A dry, tickly cough and a raw throat are irritation problems, and a demulcent syrup treats them mechanically: each spoonful leaves a soothing, moisture-holding coat over the throat lining that interrupts the tickle-cough-tickle loop. That's why lemon and honey never went out of fashion — Care just bottles it consistently.

How to take

Take by the spoonful as directed on the label, repeating through the day as needed. Non-drowsy, so fine before work or driving. Check the label for children's doses — and honey-based syrups are not for babies under 12 months.

Good to know

Contains glucose and honey, so diabetics should factor it in. A cough lasting over three weeks, bringing up blood, or arriving with breathlessness needs a GP rather than another bottle.
