Bronchostop Cough Pastilles – 20p

How will BronchoStop pastilles help to ease my cough?

BronchoStop pastilles contain a herbal ingredient called thyme extract, which is traditionally used as a cough remedy. It can be used as a natural remedy for any type of cough and is particularly popular with those who prefer herbal remedies to medicines.

 

Can I use this product if I’m taking other medication?

If you’re taking any other medication, including other herbal remedies and medications obtained without a prescription, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking BronchoStop. Some products can interact when used together, making your medication less effective or causing unwanted side effects, but a medical professional can help you to avoid this.

 

Can I take this product if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

BronchoStop pastilles are not suitable for use during pregnancy or if you’re breastfeeding. If you have a cough during these times, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist and ask them to recommend another, more suitable treatment.

 

How to take these pastilles

Take 1 – 2 pastilles every 4 hours, up to 4 times a day. Do not take more than 12 pastilles a day. Let the pastilles dissolve in your mouth and then swallow. If your cough hasn’t improved after 7 days you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

 

When should this product not be used?

BronchoStop pastilles are not suitable for use in children under the age of 12. Do not take these pastilles if you are allergic to thyme, any other members of the Lamiaceae family (e.g. basil, rosemary, sage), or any of the other listed ingredients. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you have been told that you have an intolerance to some sugars, as this product contains fructose and sorbitol. If you have diabetes mellitus, you should consider that each pastille corresponds to approximately 0.1 carbohydrate units.
