A homeopathic remedy for acute chest conditions e.g. coughs, wheezing, tight chest, whooping cough, croup.
For a very ‘wet’ or phlegmy cough, use muco drainol 30c instead.
If a chest infection is suspected, add anti-virabac 200c.
If using more than one remedy at a time, alternate dosing between the two remedies.
Size: 30 pillules
