Covonia Chesty Cough Mixture Mentholated – 150ml
What is Covonia Chesty Cough Mixture Mentholated?
Covonia Chesty Cough Mixture Mentholated is a cough syrup mixture that is designed to treat a chesty cough. As well as a chesty cough, this medicine will also provide relief for a sore throat. The active ingredients in this syrup are:
- Liquorice liquid extract

Liquorice liquid extract provides relief for inflammation in the stomach and also heartburn. Squill tincture helps to relieve bronchitis, where the tubes that carry air to the lungs become swollen. Levomenthol is a decongestant that helps to treat a blocked nose and make breathing easier.
What causes a chesty cough?
A chesty cough is caused mainly by a virus, such as a cold or the flu. A chesty cough happens when mucus becomes trapped in the throat, nose, and sinuses. This makes a cough happen, as a cough is the body’s way of trying to clear the mucus.
