Lemsip Mucus Cough & Catarrh Oral Solution 180ml

Lemsip Mucus Cough & Catarrh Oral Solution 180ml combines active ingredients to tackle both mucus build-up and throat infections. Guaifenesin, an expectorant, works by loosening and thinning the mucus (phlegm) in your lungs, making it easier to cough up and clear your airways. Cetylpyridinium chloride acts as an antiseptic to help fight against the cause of throat infections, providing comprehensive relief.

How Lemsip Mucus Cough & Catarrh Provides Relief

This oral solution is specially formulated for those irritating chesty coughs where you feel a build-up of mucus, and for discomfort caused by catarrh.

• Loosens Mucus: Guaifenesin effectively thins thick phlegm, easing its expulsion.
• Antiseptic Action: Cetylpyridinium chloride helps to combat the germs responsible for throat infections.
• Symptomatic Relief: Provides comfort from the persistent symptoms of coughs and catarrh, allowing you to get on with your day.
