Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Forte is a non-drowsy, double-action cough syrup which alleviates congestion by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways. It is suitable for use in patients aged 6 and up.

Note that this product is distinct from Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Regular; it contains differing ingredients and dosage & administration guidelines.

People buy Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Forte to treat chest congestion and productive coughs (coughs that bring up mucus) caused by acute illness, such as from a cold, the flu, or acute bronchitis. The product's two active ingredients work together to provide maximum relief:

• Bromhexine hydrochloride makes mucus in the airways thinner and less sticky, which makes it easier to expel from the body through coughing.
• Guaiphenesin is an expectorant which also thins and loosens mucus, resulting in more productive coughs.

Productive coughs, coughs which bring up mucus, should not be suppressed; it is important to remove the mucus from the airways. Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Forte is not a cough suppressant---but, as mucus is thinned and loosened and coughs become more productive, coughing naturally becomes less frequent and less severe.

The medication can be taken as-needed every 4 to 6 hours, typically in 10 ml doses for patients 12 and up or 5 ml for those aged 6 to 11. Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Forte should not be used in patients under 6 without explicit doctor instruction.

Duro-Tuss Chesty Cough Liquid Forte has a light, pleasant strawberry flavor and comes with a measuring cup for precise dosing.
