What is Robitussin Dry Cough Medicine?

Robitussin Dry Cough Medicine is designed to relieve dry, persistent, and uncomfortable coughs. It helps soothe the throat and reduces discomfort caused by coughing. Robitussin's liquid formula is easy to administer, and its effects can last up to 8 hours, providing soothing relief for dry coughs.

What Causes a Dry Cough?

A dry cough is typically tickly and irritating but does not produce mucus. Short-term dry coughs are common and may be triggered by:

• Upper respiratory tract infections like colds, flu, or sinusitis
• Lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia
• Allergies like hay fever or allergic rhinitis
• Long-term conditions like asthma or COPD
• Inhalation of irritants such as smoke or dust

Most short-term coughs clear up within 3 weeks. If your cough lasts more than a few weeks, it’s advisable to consult a doctor, as it may indicate an underlying condition.

How Does Robitussin Treat a Dry Cough?

The active ingredient in Robitussin Dry Cough Medicine is dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant. It provides effective relief from persistent dry coughs. This formula is non-drowsy, so it can be taken during the day, and the liquid format makes it easy to take.
