Pharmacist's advice
Herbion Bronho is intended for a cough with mucus that is hard to bring up – for dry, irritating cough Krka has another syrup (Herbion Tusik). Drink plenty of tea and warm drinks with the syrup, as the leaflet recommends, as this helps clear the mucus.
If you have asthma you must not use this syrup – ask a pharmacist for an alternative. As it contains sugar, it is not suitable for people with diabetes. With fever, purulent sputum, difficulty breathing or a cough lasting more than a week, a medical examination is needed.
