What Experts Say

Dr. Koff syrup blends honey with herbal extracts like vasaka, tulsi, mulethi and ginger, which are traditionally used to coat the throat and loosen chest mucus.

It is formulated to be non-alcoholic and non-sedative, so it can be taken during the day without causing drowsiness, and dosing can be repeated through the day as needed.

Because it contains honey, it should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism, and a cough that lasts more than two weeks or comes with fever needs medical review.
