Reviews

Analysis of reviews of Codelac Neo in the form of a syrup, of course, is not enough to decide whether to take this cough medicine.
But according to reviews, you can summarize and protect yourself from common mistakes made by adults. For example, some mothers are bombarded with questions about what you can simply learn from the instructions - what kind of cough reflex this syrup is from, whether it is possible for children, and so on.
    In order to avoid unnecessary questions, it is best to first read the official instructions and consult a doctor.
Another common mistake when buying a drug in the wrong dosage form as prescribed by the doctor. For example, they bought pills in a hurry, and then it turned out that this pill should not be taken until the age of 18. Or they bought syrup for a 3-month-old baby, and such children need drops.
Those who used the medication on the recommendation of a doctor and taking into account the instructions for use call syrup an effective and fast-acting cough suppressant (it helped for 2-3 days of treatment).
And only a few reviews about Codelac Neo for children in the form of syrup are negative - parents write that the cough has intensified even more, that the child is choking. If so, then obviously the syrup was used for other purposes, perhaps it was used with a wet cough.
