Potters Mucus Cough Pastilles - 20 Pack

Potter’s Mucus Cough Pastilles – 20 Pack are a traditional herbal medicinal product used to help relieve chesty (productive) coughs associated with colds. They are formulated with herbal ingredients traditionally used to help loosen mucus and soothe irritation in the throat and airways.

The pastille format allows the active herbal ingredients to be released slowly in the mouth, helping to coat and soothe the throat while supporting the body’s natural process of clearing mucus from the chest. Their pleasant flavour makes them convenient for use throughout the day when cough symptoms persist.
