You don’t want your child to be out with a cough between the months of May and October (cough and cold season).

However, supportive for chesty cough symptoms is within your wheelhouse. Prospan for Children is a favourite for families nationwide to get on top of the chesty cough fast.

Prospan for Children: Product benefits

Helps to clear mucus and relieves congestion 

Phlegm, or mucus, is what makes a chesty cough. It’s called a productive cough because it breaks down mucus build-up (which is a response to inflammation or infection) and coughs it up, creating that wet sound.

Clearing that phlegm (i.e. coughing) can take more time than you or your child have patience for. Prospan’s hero ingredient, ivy leaf extract, thins and loosens mucus so that it’s able to exit your child’s airway quicker – meaning less coughing, sooner.  

In fact, Prospan clears coughs two times faster than when left untreated, and it’s efficacy has been confirmed, from clinical trials in over 57,000 children.** 

Soothes sore airways 

All that coughing can make your child’s throat sore and scratchy. So, it’s just as important to soothe their airways as it is to clear them. 

By relieving inflammation, Prospan’s ivy leaf extract relaxes the airways for easier breathing and takes the edge out of the pesky chesty cough. 

For older kids (aged 6 years and over) Prospan also has easy-to-take throat lozenges for on-the-go relief. They’re chewable, great-tasting, and perfect to pop in your handbag in the face of a busy day. 

Naturally derived for gentle relief 

There’s a balance between effective treatment and tolerability. 

The major perk to Prospan is that you’re able to curtail the chesty cough gently. Its lead ingredients are naturally derived, including the botanical ivy leaf extract. This general garden plant has a long human history of medical use, while the specific extract used in Prospan was developed 65 years ago based on extensive clinical trials confirming good tolerability.

You won’t have to toss a coin between effectiveness and gentle care. Prospan gives a combination of both.
