FAQ

  • What's the difference between dry and chesty coughs?

    Unlike chesty coughs, dry coughs don't produce mucus (phlegm). Dry coughs are also known as non-productive coughs and are usually treated with cough suppressants incorporating codeine, dextromethorphan or pholcodine. 

    Chesty coughs, also known as mucus or productive coughs, generate phlegm, triggering your reflexes to expel it. Typically, these types of coughs are remedied with cough expectorants containing guaifenesin.

  • How can I treat my cough at home?

    • Home treatments like a mug of warm honey and lemon can be incredibly helpful.
    • Drink enough fluids throughout the day.
    • If you're a smoker, smoking cessation will lessen your coughing and upper respiratory tract infections or worsening of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

  • How does Care Simple Linctus work?

    Care Simple Linctus contains the active ingredient citric acid monohydrate, which provides a soothing coating on your throat, helping reduce the discomfort and inflammation that excessive coughing can bring.

  • What ingredients does this medication contain?

    Its active ingredient is citric acid monohydrate. It also contains other ingredients, including saccharin sodium (E954), sodium benzoate (E211), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, glycerol (E422), maltitol liquid (E965), ethanol, star anise oil, and purified water.

Side Effects

If you take Care Simple Linctus at the proper dose, you shouldn't experience any side effects. If you consume glycerol in vast amounts, you may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, loose stools, and headaches.
