Choosing the Right Cough Treatment for Your Child Matters

When your child is unwell, every decision feels important — especially when it comes to medication. Parents naturally want something that is effective, gentle, and safe, without unnecessary ingredients or side effects. Cough is one of the most common reasons children visit the doctor, and finding the right treatment can make a real difference in their comfort and recovery.

Prospan® has become a trusted name in households around the world for one simple reason: it combines natural efficacy with proven safety, making it an ideal choice for children.

A Trusted Herbal Remedy for Over 69 Years

Prospan® is the No.1 leading herbal cough medication worldwide and has been used by families for more than 69 years. Its effectiveness is supported by extensive scientific research and clinical studies involving tens of thousands of patients.

The active ingredient in Prospan® is a patented dry extract of ivy leaf (Hedera helix), carefully processed to preserve its therapeutic properties. This extract is known for its ability to:

• Help loosen and thin mucus

• Support easier breathing

• Soothe irritated airways

• Relieve cough naturally

Safe for Children – Even from the First Day of Life

One of the most reassuring aspects of Prospan® for parents is its excellent safety profile in children, including infants. Prospan® is:

• 100% alcohol-free

• Sugar-free

• Free from artificial colourings

This makes it suitable for children from their first day of life, under medical guidance, and a preferred option among healthcare professionals.

Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that Prospan® is well tolerated in pediatric patients, even with repeated use.

Why Alcohol-Free Matters for Infants and Young Children

There are still cough preparations on the market that contain alcohol in varying concentrations. While adults may tolerate this, alcohol is not recommended for infants and young children, especially under the age of one.

Alcohol-containing products can:

• Irritate the stomach lining

• Affect the nervous system

• Place unnecessary strain on a developing body

That’s why parents are always advised to choose alcohol-free formulations whenever possible. With Prospan®, you can be confident that your child is receiving a gentle, alcohol-free remedy.

Natural, Gentle, and Free from Unnecessary Additives

Children’s bodies are more sensitive than adults’, which is why avoiding unnecessary ingredients is so important. Prospan® contains:

• No sugar – reducing the risk of dental issues

• No artificial colouring – minimizing the risk of sensitivities

• No alcohol – making it suitable for even the youngest children

This clean formulation is one of the reasons Prospan® is widely recommended by pediatricians and pharmacists around the world.

Clinically Studied and Professionally Trusted

Prospan® is not just a traditional herbal remedy — it is one of the most clinically researched ivy leaf extracts available. Multiple studies have shown its:

• Efficacy in relieving cough

• Safety in pediatric use

• Tolerability even with extended use

This scientific backing gives parents peace of mind that they are choosing a product that is both natural and evidence-based.

Supporting Your Child’s Natural Recovery

When children have a cough, their bodies are already working hard to fight infection and clear mucus. Prospan® supports this natural process by:

• Helping thin and loosen mucus

• Making coughing more productive

• Easing airway irritation

• Supporting comfortable breathing

Rather than suppressing the body’s natural defense mechanisms, Prospan® works in harmony with them.

A Choice Parents Can Feel Confident About

Choosing the right medication for your child is never something to take lightly. With Prospan®, parents can feel reassured knowing they are choosing:

• A natural herbal solution

• A clinically proven formula

• A product trusted by healthcare professionals worldwide

• A safe option for children of all ages

Because Your Child’s Comfort Comes First

When your child is coughing, restless, or struggling to sleep, all you want is to help them feel better — safely and gently. Prospan® is designed to do exactly that, providing effective cough relief while respecting your child’s delicate system.

Important Reminder

Always consult a doctor or healthcare professional before giving any medication to children, especially infants.
