Cough Tablets

Description

Cough Tablets are formulated for the temporary relief of cough symptoms in dogs and cats. The veterinary-use formula combines guaifenesin and dextromethorphan hydrobromide to provide expectorant and antitussive activity.

Guaifenesin helps loosen respiratory secretions, while dextromethorphan helps temporarily suppress the cough reflex. The tablet formulation provides convenient oral administration for dogs and cats according to label directions.

Persistent or chronic coughing, particularly when accompanied by excessive secretions, prolonged depression, or fever, should be evaluated by a veterinarian.
