Prospan Cough Syrup with Dry Ivy Leaves Extract, 200ml

Prospan Cough Syrup contains a standardized dry extract of Hedera helix (Ivy) leaves, a herbal ingredient with a well-documented dual mechanism for managing productive cough. The saponins in Ivy leaf extract act as a secretolytic expectorant, reducing the surface tension of mucus in the bronchi to make it less viscous and easier to cough up. Simultaneously, Ivy extract has bronchospasmolytic properties that relax smooth muscle in the airway walls, relieving the bronchoconstriction that accompanies many chest infections and wet cough conditions.

Benefits

• The saponin compounds in Ivy leaf extract reduce the surface tension of bronchial mucus, making it physically less viscous and sticky - this directly facilitates the mucociliary clearance mechanism and makes each cough more effective at moving mucus upward and out of the airways
