About Simple Linctus

Simple Linctus is a cough mixture used to help relieve a sore throat, and make it easier to cough up phlegm. Simple Linctus can be used by adults and children over the age of 12.

Simple Linctus contains the active ingredient Citric Acid. This helps provide a coating on your throat, which reduces pain associated with coughing. Making it less painful to cough, also help you cough up anything sitting on your chest. Simple Linctus can be used for both dry or chesty coughs.

Dry Cough vs Chesty Cough

Dry Coughs: No phlegm is produced. Dry Coughs are also referred to as unproductive coughs. Cough suppressants that contain Pholcodine, Codeine or Dextromethorphan can be used to treat dry/unproductive coughs.

Chesty Coughs: Phlegm is produced and cough reflexes will expel the phlegm.  Chesty Coughs are also referred to as productive coughs. Cough expectorants that contain Guaifenesin can be used to treat chesty/productive coughs.
