Instructions for use (for children under 18, only syrup is prescribed) states that a liquid of bright orange color is produced in 150 ml dark plastic bottles in a carton box along with the instruction. This medicine is very sweet, even sugary, which causes a protective cough, so immediately drink it with water.

But it also includes other auxiliary components: honey flavor, vanilla tincture, yellow dye, licorice root extract, glycerol, sucrose, potassium sorbate, saccharin, purified water, propyl parahydroxybenzoate, methyl parahydroxybenzoate.

Despite the fact that fenspirida hydrochloride perfectly copes with excretion and reduction of sputum in the body, transforms dry cough into wet, the presence of propyl- and methylparahydroxybenzoate during long-term treatment can cause allergies. Therefore, many mothers with children undergo research with an allergist-immunologist for the tolerability of the drug, in order to avoid side effects during treatment.
