Frequently asked questions

What is Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus used for?+
Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus is an oral linctus containing glycerol that is used to soothe throat irritation and reduce coughing in infants three months of age and older. It provides a demulcent coating that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with mild coughs and colds.
How does glycerol work in this product?+
Glycerol acts as a demulcent by forming a thin, viscous film over the mucous membranes of the throat. This protective layer reduces mechanical irritation, retains moisture, and dampens the cough reflex, offering symptomatic relief without exerting systemic pharmacological effects.
What is the usual dose of Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus?+
The appropriate dose of Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the infant’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the dosing device provided with the product.
Is this product safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus is intended for infants and is not indicated for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women. If a mother requires cough relief while nursing, she should consult her healthcare provider for an appropriate alternative.

How does this product compare with other infant cough syrups?+
Unlike many infant cough syrups that contain multiple active pharmacologic agents, Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus relies solely on glycerol as a demulcent. This makes it a simple, non‑sedating option focused on soothing the throat, which can be advantageous for infants where minimal systemic exposure is desired.

Store the linctus at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.
How is Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus administered?+
The product is administered orally using the supplied measuring device. The prescribed dose should be given directly into the infant’s mouth, preferably after a feeding, and the child should be kept upright for a few minutes to reduce the risk of aspiration.
What are the most serious risks associated with this product?+
Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria, or anaphylaxis, and severe vomiting that could lead to dehydration. Caregivers should seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic response or persistent vomiting occur.
Who should not use Infant Simple Cough Linctus 3 Months Plus?+
Infants younger than three months, individuals with a known hypersensitivity to glycerol, or those who have been advised by a healthcare professional to avoid demulcent preparations should not use this product.
