For the longest time, coughs have always needed an immediate cure. Itchy coughs & coughs with phlegm are just some of the bothersome manifestations and symptoms that affect millions of Filipinos every day. And now with the changing weather, coughs seem to be making their seasonal resurgence, adding an extra layer of discomfort to daily life. With the weather being unpredictable comes higher cases of people coughing, hence the need to be equipped with the essentials that can help treat coughs in no time.
Throughout the years, Bactidol has been dedicated to providing healthier & better lives for Filipinos. From being the most prescribed sore throat solution in the Philippines, Bactidol proudly expanded its portfolio by launching the newest addition of Bactidol Cough Syrups.
Last February 13, Bactidol® gathered health care professionals to give medical perspective about the different types of coughs. Dr. Adrian Insigne, general practitioner, shares “As doctors, it is our role to educate and inform patients about the different sicknesses such as coughs and how best to address these on the onset. Beyond being an inconvenience, persistent coughs can significantly impact one’s quality of life, affecting sleep, productivity, and overall well-being. In treating cough, it is very important to determine the type of cough we are experiencing, whether itchy cough or cough with phlegm, to identify the right treatment and medicine for faster recovery.”
Bactidol® also recently launched its latest TVC to mark the launch of its newest products, making it the first of its kind featuring Arshie Larga, a licensed pharmacist and now brand ambassador. “To represent the Filipino Pharmacist community is an honor and privilege, and I am beyond grateful for this opportunity. As a content creator in my field, I hope I can continue to inform my audiences about the different types of coughs and bridge them to the right solutions such as the newest Bactidol Cough Syrups for itchy and productive cough,” Arshie proudly states.
Bactidol® Cough syrups come in two variants that address both itchy cough and cough with phlegm. Ammonium chloride + Diphenhydramine HCl (Bactidol® Itchy Cough Relief) addresses itchy cough with its Fast Relief Formula that works in as fast as 15 minutes. While Guaifenesin + Bromhexine HCl (Bactidol® Heavy Phlegm Relief) has dual-action phlegm removal power that helps dissolve and helps expel phlegm.
