About Robitussin
Robitussin is a trusted name in cough relief, offering targeted treatments for different cough types through an exclusive pharmacy range. Now owned by Haleon, the global consumer healthcare company headquartered in the UK, Robitussin has been helping people manage coughs for decades and remains one of the most recognised cough medicine brands in British pharmacies. The Robitussin range addresses the two main types of productive and non-productive coughs with specifically formulated medicines. Robitussin Dry Cough contains dextromethorphan (7.5mg per 5ml), which acts on the cough centre in the brain by blocking the cough reflex, providing relief from persistent dry, tickly, and irritating coughs. For productive coughs, Robitussin Chesty Cough Medicine contains guaifenesin (100mg per 5ml) as an expectorant, helping to loosen and thin mucus, making it easier to clear from the chest. A key advantage of the Robitussin range is the availability of sugar-free formulations, making them suitable for diabetics and those watching their sugar intake. These formulations provide the same effective cough relief without added sugars, using alternative sweeteners to maintain palatability whilst accommodating different health needs. As a pharmacy-exclusive medicine, Robitussin is available from Tesco Pharmacy, Boots, LloydsPharmacy, and other registered pharmacies across the UK. This pharmacy positioning ensures that customers can receive professional advice about the most suitable product for their symptoms, helping them choose between dry cough, chesty cough, or mucus cough variants for optimal relief.
