Before use

The labels list temporary relief of cough from minor throat and bronchial irritation associated with the common cold, and help loosening phlegm and thinning bronchial secretions to make coughs more productive.

  • Do not use with a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), or for 2 weeks after stopping it. If unsure, ask a doctor or pharmacist.
  • Do not use for persistent or chronic cough, or cough with excessive phlegm, unless directed by a doctor. Consult a doctor if cough lasts more than a week, returns, or occurs with fever, rash or persistent headache.
  • If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Keep out of reach of children. For accidental overdose, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

Aloe-Miel lists 0.15% alcohol. Aloe and honey appear among the inactive ingredients; they do not replace the two drug active ingredients.
