Directions

Take Robitussin Dry Cough exactly as directed on the label or by your pharmacist. The usual dose depends on age, and the measuring cup provided should be used to ensure accurate dosing.

Robitussin Dry Cough can be taken at the recommended intervals throughout the day, but do not exceed the stated maximum dose within twenty-four hours. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, seek medical advice.

Ingredients

Robitussin Dry Cough commonly contains an antitussive such as dextromethorphan hydrobromide, which works on the cough centre in the brain to reduce the urge to cough. Robitussin Dry Cough may also contain additional ingredients to soothe the throat and improve taste. The product includes standard pharmaceutical excipients to stabilise the liquid formulation.

Always check the packaging for the full list of active and inactive ingredients.

Warnings

Do not use Robitussin Dry Cough if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Consult a healthcare professional before using Robitussin Dry Cough if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking other medicines, or have a chronic respiratory condition. Do not take Robitussin Dry Cough with other products containing dextromethorphan or similar cough suppressants.

Keep out of sight and reach of children, and do not exceed the recommended dose.
