Product overview

About Covonia Chesty Cough Mixture

The strong dark stuff: Covonia's mentholated mixture has been clearing troublesome chesty coughs since 1968 with squill, liquorice and a levomenthol hit you can feel on the way down. The big bottle for a household that gets through winter on it. Non-drowsy, unmistakably Covonia, and this is the 300ml bottle.

Why people swear by the menthol wallop

Squill and liquorice are traditional expectorants that help loosen thick phlegm so it can be coughed up, but it's the mentholated vapour rising through the airways that gives Covonia its following: the immediate sense of a chest opening up. Gentler syrups exist; this isn't trying to be one.

How to take

Adults and children over 12: one or two 5ml spoonfuls every four hours as needed. Children 5 to 12: one 5ml spoonful every four hours. Not for under-5s. The taste is strong; that's rather the point.

Good to know

Each dose contains about 2.6g of sugar and a small amount of alcohol, so allow for it with diabetes, and don't use with a heart condition. A cough that lasts more than three weeks, or comes with breathlessness, chest pain or blood, needs a GP. See our full cough and cold range.
