He has a sweet and vegetable taste, the child drinks with pleasure. And I am satisfied that it contains natural herbal ingredients. The cost is acceptable, of course, there are cheaper analogues on sale, but I did not want to test fate. The daughter is prone to allergies, but this drug was taken without any problems. Syrup bought twice already, always as prescribed by a doctor. The effect of its effect on the cough was pleased. The child did not get used to it. One hundred percent sputum removal within the first four days.
Sasha. Linkas is a good anti-inflammatory drug of plant origin, which I very well helped with dry cough. But my daughter in a similar situation could not take this medicine, she developed a skin itch and even some kind of dryness in her mouth. Apparently affected individual intolerance of the drug.
