[Other Information Stated in the Package Insert]
Coughing is one of the body's defensive reactions to expel foreign matter from the trachea, but a distressing cough can also lead to loss of physical strength. Make prevention and countermeasures a daily habit.

Before the cough gets worse. Prevention is important.
1 Gargle.
Viruses and bacteria taken in from the air may be attached to the mucous membrane of the throat. To avoid letting viruses and bacteria into the body, make a habit of gargling, especially when you come home. Gargling with a gargle solution or tea is also recommended.
2 Wash your hands.
Hands, which touch all kinds of things, may have viruses and bacteria on them. Make a habit of washing your hands frequently with soap and warm water. Take plenty of time to wash thoroughly, including between the fingers, the base of the thumb and the wrists, and always keep your hands clean.
3 Drink fluids regularly.
The throat plays a role in expelling foreign matter such as viruses and bacteria, but when the throat is dry, this function declines. Drink fluids frequently to keep the throat moist. In seasons when the air is dry, do not forget to manage the humidity of the room as well.

"I have a cough..." At such times, observe cough etiquette.
1 Wear a mask. (Cover the mouth and nose)
2 Cover the mouth and nose with a tissue or handkerchief.
When you do not have a mask
3 Cover the mouth and nose with your sleeve.
When caught off guard

If a cough continues for 3 weeks or more, do not take over-the-counter cough medicine, and see a doctor at a hospital.

You may become drowsy after taking Medicon Cough Suppressant Tablets Pro, so be careful when driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
