Breacol Expectorant Child 60ml

Breacol Expectorant Child is a paediatric cough syrup with guaifenesin as its active ingredient, formulated to help loosen and clear phlegm in children with a wet cough. It's a well-established expectorant that many parents recognise as part of managing common cold and cough symptoms in young ones. Side effects are generally mild, though some children may experience nausea, mild stomach upset, dizziness, or drowsiness. It's specifically formulated for children above 2 years old, with dosing that changes as your child grows. If your child's cough doesn't improve or seems to be getting worse, it's best to check in with a paediatrician rather than relying on the syrup alone.

Children aged 2 to 6 years typically take 1 to 2 teaspoons (5–10ml) every 4 hours as required, while children aged 6 to 12 years typically take 2 to 4 teaspoons (10–20ml) every 4 hours as required. Always consult a doctor before giving this to children under 2 years of age.

• Nausea or mild stomach upset
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Headache
• Mild allergic skin reactions in sensitive children
• Vomiting, if taken in excess of the recommended dose

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly capped and out of reach of children.

• Always use the measuring device provided for accurate dosing.

• Encourage plenty of fluids to help loosen mucus.

Measure the correct amount using the measuring cup or spoon provided, and give it to your child by mouth, generally every 4 hours as needed. Shake the bottle well before each use, and encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids alongside the syrup to help loosen mucus.

Unopened, the syrup is generally stable for around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture; once opened, it's best used within the period noted on the label. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle.

Guaifenesin (Glyceryl Guaiacolate) — an expectorant that works by increasing the hydration of respiratory secretions, helping to loosen and clear mucus from the airways.

Not to be used in children with a known hypersensitivity to guaifenesin or any other ingredient in the formulation. Not recommended for children under 2 years of age without medical advice, and caution is needed in children with kidney impairment or an underlying chronic respiratory condition such as asthma.

Avoid giving this syrup alongside other cough or cold preparations containing the same or similar active ingredients, as this can lead to unintentional overdose. It can generally be given with or without food, but it's best to inform your pharmacist of any other medicines your child is taking.
