Cough Syrup For Dry Coughs
GaiaKids
Overview
This cough syrup relies on a proprietary synergistic blend, making it difficult to ascertain the specific effectiveness of the product. Honey, a known ingredient, has some evidence for cough relief. However, the strength and reliability of the overall formula's efficacy remain questionable due to the unknown composition and dosages of the other ingredients in the blend.
