Potters Chesty Cough & Catarrh - 20 Pastilles

Potters Chesty Cough & Catarrh – 20 Pastilles are a traditional herbal medicinal product used for the relief of chesty (productive) coughs and catarrh associated with colds. Their use is based on traditional practice rather than modern clinical evidence.

The pastilles contain herbal ingredients traditionally used to:

• Help loosen and clear mucus from the chest
• Soothe irritated throats
• Ease coughing associated with catarrh and chest congestion

As each pastille dissolves slowly in the mouth, it releases soothing herbal components that coat the throat, providing comforting relief throughout the day. Potters Chesty Cough & Catarrh Pastilles are suitable for short-term use in adults and older children.

Adults, the elderly and children aged 12 years and over:

• Allow 1 pastille to dissolve slowly in the mouth.
