What makes Prospan for Children different?
Prospan for Children is Australia’s No.1 children’s cough medicine*. It’s made from Ivy leaf, but not just any old Ivy leaf. In fact, it contains an exclusive Ivy leaf extract known as EA 575. Prospan with EA 575 has been rigorously tested in clinical trials and scientific studies involving more than 57,000 children to provide chesty cough relief.
Natural medicines can vary considerably depending on the species of plant chosen, the way the plant is grown and harvested, and the extraction and production processes used. So it’s essential that you get the same medicine that’s been tested in clinical research demonstrating health benefits.
That’s why a patented production process is used to make Prospan for Children. It’s the result of 65 years of research and innovation, and it helps ensure that every batch of Prospan for Children has the same reliable EA 575 formula that’s been proven to help relieve chesty coughs.
