Asadaame Cough Medicine is an effective children’s cough medicine for coughs, sore throats and strained voices which uses DL-Methylephedrine Hydrochloride as its active ingredient. The drops come in two flavours, grape or strawberry, and are sugar free so they’re low in calories and kinder to teeth.
The packaging features that much-loved character Doraemon and has become extremely popular since its release in 2015. The solid Asadaame tins also have a sunshine design with “cough” and “for sore throats” written on the front to boost sales.
