1. WHAT LIBLAB® COUGH SYRUP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

 Liblab® Cough Syrup is a herbal medicine used to treat catarrhal diseases of the respiratory tract by its secretolytic, bronchospasmolytic and cough-relieving effects.

 Liblab® Cough Syrup causes thick mucus to become liquefied, thereby making it easier to cough up. At the same time, the urge to cough is reduced. In this way, Liblab® combats the typical symptoms of bronchitis: excessive production of thick mucus, shortness of breath and the urge to cough, thereby allowing the patient to breathe freely again.

 Liblab® Cough Syrup is used to improve symptoms of chronic-inflammatory bronchial diseases; acute inflammations of the respiratory tract accompanied by coughing.

 Note: In the event of persistent complaints or the appearance of shortness of breath, fever as well as purulent or bloody expectoration, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
