[Other information in the package insert] Coughing is one of the body's defensive reactions to expel foreign matter from the trachea, but a troublesome cough can also wear down your physical strength. Make prevention and countermeasures a daily habit.

Before your 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 your body, make a habit of gargling, especially when you get 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 hot water. Take time to wash thoroughly, including between the fingers, the base of the thumb, and up to 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 and keep your throat moist. In seasons when the air is dry, do not forget to manage the humidity in your room as well.

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

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

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