What is Piccan Cough Relief?
Piccan Cough Relief is a pediatric mucolytic syrup specially formulated to treat productive or "chesty" coughs in infants and children. Unlike generic cough suppressants, Piccan works by breaking down and thinning thick mucus (phlegm) in the airways, making it easier for your child to cough it up and breathe comfortably.
How It Works
The active ingredient in Piccan Cough Relief is Carbocisteine. As a mucolytic agent, it reduces the stickiness and viscosity of bronchial secretions. This is particularly effective for children suffering from chest congestion where thick mucus is trapped in the chest.
Key Benefits
- Targeted Relief: Specifically designed for chesty, mucus-heavy coughs.
- Pediatric Formulation: Safe for infants as young as 3 months (over 5kg).
- Easy Administration: Each 200ml bottle comes with a specialized oral dosing syringe for precise measurement.
- Kid-Friendly Flavor: Features a pleasant caramel and currant taste to help with compliance.
Dosage Guidelines
Always consult a pharmacist or doctor before administering medication to infants.
- 3–12 Months (over 5kg): 2.5ml, up to 3 times daily.

Safety Information
