Effective Relief for Persistent and Stubborn Coughs
Beehive Balsam Syrup (Ayrton’s Beehive Balsam) is a trusted, traditional oral linctus specially formulated to provide relief from stubborn and persistent coughs. Whether you are dealing with chest congestion or a scratchy throat, this honey-based syrup works as both an expectorant and a demulcent to soothe your respiratory system and help you breathe easier.
How Beehive Balsam Works
The formula combines the natural healing properties of honey with proven pharmaceutical ingredients:
- Purified Honey & Glycerin: These act as demulcents, coating the throat with a protective layer to reduce irritation and the urge to cough.
- Ipecacuanha: A mild expectorant that helps loosen phlegm (mucus) in the chest, making it easier to cough up and clear your airways.
- Lemon Oil: Provides a refreshing taste while adding to the soothing effect on the pharynx.
Dosage and Administration
For best results, follow these dosage guidelines:
- Adults and Children over 12 years: Take two 5ml spoonfuls (10ml) every 4 hours. Do not exceed 6 doses in 24 hours.
- Children 2 to 12 years: Take one 5ml spoonful (5ml) every 4 hours.
- Children under 2 years: Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use. This product is not recommended for infants under 1 year.
Safety Information
Beehive Balsam is generally well-tolerated and non-drowsy. However, because it contains sucrose and honey, individuals with diabetes should exercise caution. If you have any allergies to ipecacuanha or honey, do not use this product. For personalized advice, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist online.
